Tucumán has begun integrating into broader healthcare coordination frameworks. The province was selected to join the federal node of Integrated Health Networks, an initiative supported by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to create a person-centered system through improved coordination between different levels of care. Dr. Cristina Majul, the Undersecretary of Health, noted the goal is to ensure continuous patient follow-up by utilizing Primary Health Care as the essential entry point for hospital referrals.

Building on this coordination model, the provincial government launched the Provincial Stroke Network Program. This specific initiative aims to reduce mortality and disability from cerebrovascular accidents by shortening the time between symptom onset and medical intervention. The program utilizes five strategic care nodes, telemedicine, and the training of 2,000 healthcare workers. It integrates public and private sectors, including clinics, sanatoriums, and the Hospital Padilla, to provide coverage regardless of a patient's proximity to major medical centers.
