The Michigan Value Collaborative (MVC) is a partnership between Michigan hospitals and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) designed to accelerate improvements in both quality and cost efficiency across the state. Working in conjunction with the other specialty-specific Collaborative Quality Improvement 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.
