CQI Collaboration

Adding value, working together

 

MVC collaborates with the other BCBSM collaborative quality initiatives (CQIs) to promote value. By combining clinical and claims data, MVC is able to evaluate the impact and value of CQI-led clinical initiatives. These value assessments are performed in partnership with peer CQIs. MVC also partners with its peers to develop new conditions and push reports and often consults with newer CQIs on metric development.

MVC provides access to multi-payer claims data to support a range of CQI-related quality improvement initiatives.

MVC collaborates with CQI partners on a variety of utilization projects and value assessments. 

MVC provides expertise and individualized guidance to help CQI partners analyze MVC claims data.
