Community Health Network

Community Health Network is a large, integrated healthcare system headquartered in Indianapolis with major operations in Fishers, Indiana, serving patients across central Indiana through a network of hospitals, urgent care centers, and over 200 primary and specialty care locations. The organization generates revenue through patient services including inpatient care, outpatient procedures, specialty treatments (such as oncology, cardiology, and maternity), and value-based care contracts with insurers and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. As a regional leader in healthcare delivery, it competes with IU Health and Franciscan Health while maintaining a strong focus on community accessibility and care coordination. The Fishers location at Saxony Village serves as a key outpatient hub, offering specialized services in bariatrics, cancer care, children's health, heart and vascular services, and maternity, supported by a substantial local workforce. With over 100 employees estimated at this Fishers facility alone (based on service breadth, patient volume, and typical staffing ratios for outpatient specialty centers), the site represents a significant operational unit within the larger network. This location is a strong EBP prospect due to its size and recurring payroll tax exposure — at 120 employees, the annual FICA tax savings opportunity would be approximately $142,800 (120 × $1,190), realized monthly through optimized payroll tax credits. The Chief Medical Officer, supported by HR and finance leadership, would be motivated to adopt EBP not only for direct cost savings but also to strengthen the network’s ability to invest in clinical staff retention, reduce burnout-related turnover, and enhance its competitive benefits package in a tight healthcare labor market where attracting nurses, technicians, and specialists is increasingly challenging. Implementing EBP would allow Community Health Network to redirect savings toward workforce development initiatives, directly addressing known pain points like high patient acquisition costs (by improving staff satisfaction and care quality) and limited digital engagement (by enabling investment in telehealth infrastructure and staff training).
