The MVC Coordinating Center is excited to announce the agenda for its spring collaborative-wide meeting on Fri., May 9, 2025, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., at the H Hotel in Midland, MI. This meeting’s theme of “collaboration in action” reflects a focus on partnerships, collaborating to overcome barriers, and leveraging data to shape improvement projects. Those interested in attending MVC's spring collaborative-wide meeting can learn more and register here.
MVC Director Hari Nathan, MD, PhD, and Managing 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 a new engagement awards ceremony and a presentation about statewide trends in quality improvement efforts, both presented by MVC Engagement Manager Jessica Souva, MSN, RN, C-ONQS.
The meeting includes a mid-morning poster session with 11 presenters highlighting success stories and research across the broader CQI portfolio. This is one of several opportunities to network with peers.
MVC Associate Program Manager Jana Stewart, MS, MPH, will present on recent MVC partnerships with other CQIs that drove site-level quality improvement initiatives. In addition to providing updates on these partnerships and their respective progress, Stewart will also share new priorities related to cardiac rehabilitation, preoperative testing, and ED-based episodes of care. This presentation will include unblinded data on key measures for all three topics, including new data on mental health comorbidities among patients treated in the emergency department. Attendees will be able to benchmark their site’s performance on a variety of metrics and come away with ideas for site-level interventions to implement.
After lunch and open networking, the afternoon features 10 concurrent interactive roundtables covering a wide variety of topics. From collaboration across academic and system units, behavioral health, and data reporting topics to a variety of patient-centered initiatives and more, the roundtables offer something for everyone. Attendees will join between two and three 15-minute discussions as they rotate to different roundtable speaker presentations. One of these options includes a longer 30-minute fireside chat with Hari Nathan, MD, PhD, on system-level approaches to quality improvement.
New this year is an innovation station that will be available throughout the day. It will feature a variety of stations where attendees can interact, leave suggestions, and connect with peers. The day will conclude with closing remarks and next steps with Jana Stewart, MS, MPH.
The deadline to register for MVC’s spring collaborative-wide meeting is April 28. We look forward to seeing you there!
