Program Overview

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 Improvement (CQI) programs 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.

Coordinating Center

MVC is coordinated out of the University of Michigan and includes over 100 hospitals and 40 physician organizations throughout the state of Michigan.

Value Partnerships

Support for the Michigan Value Collaborative is provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan as part of the BCBSM Value Partnerships program.
