Transforming Surgical Outcomes Together

Effective Partners

MSQC is a collaborative of Michigan Hospitals dedicated to overall surgical quality improvement, including better patient care and lower costs. We are multidisciplinary and inclusive as we work together to transform surgical quality and deliver care that is cost effective.

Founded in 2005 under the sponsorship of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network (BCBSM / BCN), today we provide our 52 member hospitals with practical approaches to better patient outcomes and lower costs.

A Blueprint for Others

In a May 2012 interview with the Atlantic Information Services, Daniel Loepp, CEO of the Michigan Blues plan, commented “Our programs enable doctors from many health systems to share data, building a sense of trust and cooperation that has created an extraordinary catalyst for improving the quality of patient outcomes, while reducing unnecessary healthcare costs.”

Training & Recruitment

The MSQC is pleased to announce training for MSQC 2.0 in June, 2012.

On the recruitment front, BCBSM and the MSQC will be planning for MSQC’s Fourth Cohort this October with a kickoff in January, 2013.
