Largest IDNs in Michigan

Michigan is the 10th largest state in the U.S. by population. There are more than 183 hospitals in Michigan, many of which are part of a broader integrated delivery network (IDN).

IDNs are networks of one or more healthcare facilities that can include hospitals, health clinics, physician groups, imaging centers, or ambulatory surgery centers. Thus, the larger an IDN you target, the greater opportunity there is for your company to reach more facilities and have a greater impact.

Using the Definitive Healthcare HospitalView platform, we analyzed the largest IDNs in Michigan based on the number of affiliated hospitals and by net patient revenue (NPR).

Targeting IDNs in Michigan

Selling into the healthcare space is complicated, with IDNs playing an increasingly central role. Understanding Michigan’s broader health system landscape is essential for making strategic decisions.

These IDNs, which often encompass hospitals, physician groups, and outpatient care sites, are seeking to offer a more comprehensive and coordinated approach to patient care. This consolidation within the healthcare system makes IDNs a valuable target for suppliers of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other healthcare-related products and services. Whether you’re looking to sell a product or service, marketing to IDNs allows you to take advantage of their wide range of care facilities, especially if you market to IDNs with larger networks.
