History
Value Partnerships was officially launched in June 2006 as an umbrella program covering several initiatives, each a collaboration among the Michigan Blues and a group of hospitals, and focused on a particular area of clinical quality improvement.
Today, the number of initiatives underneath the Value Partnerships umbrella has grown considerably. Hospitals and physician groups throughout the state participate in multiple initiatives that are transforming Michigan's system of care, with the power of change controlled by the providers.
Initiatives include clinical quality studies in key specialty areas such as cardiology, cancer and surgery, and initiatives that focus on primary care processes and systems.
