The Michigan Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium (HMS) participates in Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) Collaborative Quality Initiative (CQI) collaborations to improve antimicrobial use and sepsis care for hospitalized adult medical patients across Michigan. Through strategic partnerships with other BCBSM CQIs, HMS contributes to advancing evidence-based research, implementing quality improvement initiatives, and sharing critical findings with the Michigan medical community.
Strategic BCBSM CQI Partnerships
Michigan Value Collaborative (MVC)
The goal of the Michigan Value Collaborative (MVC) is to improve the health of Michigan through sustainable, high-value healthcare. It is a partnership between Michigan hospitals, physician organizations, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan/Blue Care Network. Working in conjunction with the many specialty-specific Collaborative Quality Initiatives (CQIs) in BCBSM’s Value Partnership Program, MVC aims to understand variation in healthcare use, identify best practices, and lead interventions for improving care before, during, and after hospitalization. The program improves healthcare quality across Michigan through rigorous performance feedback, empirical identification of best practices, and collaborative learning.
