Michigan Quality Improvement Consortium
The Michigan Quality Improvement Consortium (MQIC) is a collaborative effort to develop and implement standard clinical guidelines and performance measures. MQIC participants include physicians and other personnel representing the Michigan HMOs. MAHP recognizes the expertise and evidence-based knowledge that the guidelines represent and encourages the use of accepted standards of care to promote quality care and better health outcomes for Michiganders.
The MQIC Committee of the Michigan Association of Health Plans has updated the guidelines below. The consortium works to establish and update clinical practice guidelines for use by healthcare professionals and health plans. Guidelines will be reviewed on a two-year cycle.
