The Michigan Value Collaborative, or MVC, is a partnership between Michigan hospitals, physician organizations, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan/Blue Care Network. The goal of the MVC is to help Michigan hospitals achieve their best possible patient outcomes at the lowest reasonable cost. MVC works in conjunction with the many specialty-specific Collaborative Quality Improvement (CQI) programs in BCBSM’s Value Partnership Program 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.
