Clinical Integration Steering Committee (CISC)

In October 1999, MaineHealth launched the Clinical Integration Division by convening a group of clinicians and Management Team members to act as its Steering Committee. This effort was the result of intense system scrutiny by governing boards, committees, and professional consultants for many years prior. The Steering Committee was formed to develop process plans, identify integration initiatives, and to oversee the efforts of the many work teams that carry out the initiatives.

The Clinical Integration Steering Committee is comprised of physicians, administrators, nurses, QI/Compliance and Information Services specialists. The committee is chaired by:
--Vance Brown, M.D., MaineHealth's Chief Medical Officer and
--Jackie Cawley, D.O., C.I. Senior Medical Director for Ambulatory and Prevention. 

This group meets bimonthly (except July) to:

  1. Develop clinical process plans
  2. Charge required work teams and approve leadership and membership
  3. Review and approve team work plans, including goals, resource requirements, outcome measures, and timelines
  4. Monitor work team results and timelines
  5. Periodically report to MaineHealth Management Team

The following are members of the 2009 Clinical Integration Steering Committee:
