Catalyst Health Network, a Plano, Texas-based accountable care organization, announced it has added HCA North Texas, the 15-hospital Irving-based branch of HCA, to its affiliate network.
"The addition of HCA provides a tremendous opportunity for Catalyst's independent physicians to better coordinate care," Catalyst President Christopher Crow, MD, said in a statement. "Building a collaborative relationship with HCA enables us to create a more dynamic healthcare platform for independent physicians and strengthens our care system."
The partnership will help strengthen HCA North Texas' affiliation with Questcare, which staffs its emergency physicians and hospitalists. Catalyst's provider network now includes 175 physicians in Texas.
