The MVC Coordinating Center is excited to announce the agenda for its fall collaborative-wide meeting on Fri., Oct. 10, 2025, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., at the Vistatech Center in Livonia, MI. This meeting’s theme is “Adapting Together in 2025 and Beyond: High-Value Care for All in a Changing Landscape.” This meeting will highlight the various ways in which MVC's members identify gaps in outcomes, adapt to ensure all patients receive the highest quality care, and establish partnerships and programs that mitigate non-medical drivers of health outcomes. Those interested in attending MVC's fall 2025 collaborative-wide meeting must register here by Thurs., Sept. 25.
MVC Director Mark Bradshaw, MSc, will kick off the day with Coordinating Center updates as well as announcements about the MVC Component of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) Pay-for-Performance (P4P) Program. This will be followed by updates about 2026 engagement offerings presented by MVC Engagement Manager Jessica Souva, MSN, RN, C-ONQS.
MVC will then invite its first guest speakers of the day to the podium: Julia Weinert, MPH, MSHIELD Program Manager, and Brad Iott, PhD, MPH, MSHIELD Content Expert in Health Informatics and Social Care Integration. The MSHIELD team will lay the foundation for the day by discussing non-medical drivers of health and related implications for quality improvement teams, including examples of metrics that help evaluate care across all patients and interventions that can help reduce gaps in patient outcomes.
The event keynote will follow with a presentation by Gloria Rey, PA-C, MPH, Director of Post-Acute Care, Henry Ford Health. She will present on Henry Ford’s post-acute care (PAC) transition program, and the ways in which their team partners with PAC groups to ensure effective, individualized handoffs and care delivery for all patients.
Following lunch and networking, MVC Medical Director Hari Nathan, MD, PhD, will co-present with MVC Analyst Kushbu Narender Singh, MDS, MPH, for MVC’s Data in Action presentation. This data presentation will focus on MVC’s newest health outcome variation measure, including how it was developed, its use cases and benefits, a timeline for related data sharing, and unblinded data. This measure was a new addition to the MVC Component of the BCBSM P4P Program, with scoring on this measure beginning in Program Years 2026-2027.
Attendees will then transition into the afternoon breakout sessions, all led by guest hospital presenters. To showcase how members are addressing variation in outcomes, MVC invited presenters to discuss recent initiatives and successes across a range of focus areas, such as partnerships with community-based organizations, systematic approaches to referrals, and predictive analytics and assessment tools in EPIC. View a summary of all five breakout presentations here. Attendees will attend two breakout sessions before returning to the main ballroom for closing remarks and next steps.
The deadline to register for MVC’s fall 2025 collaborative-wide meeting is tomorrow, Sept. 25. We look forward to seeing you there!
