The newly launched VerifyMICare.org gives patients easy access to important information about the quality of healthcare provided at hospitals across the state. The website, created voluntarily by the MHA and its member hospitals, provides quality data on a range of infections, C-section rates, readmissions and more. Listen to a recent podcast episode on why hospital transparency matters.

Hospitals in Michigan are tackling health equity and the socioeconomic and racial health disparities in patient outcomes through person- and family-centered care strategies.

MiCare Champions can get involved in their communities by becoming a patient/family adviser and by learning more about the MHA Keystone Center’s efforts to help advance Person- and Family-centered Care in Michigan.

All Michigan hospitals are now voluntarily participating in MHA Keystone Center programs to improve the safety and quality of healthcare by reducing hospital-acquired infections, increasing the rate of safe medication disposal, improving outcomes through safe pain management and more.

If you work in the healthcare industry, you can help by getting involved in your organization’s Patient Safety and Quality Initiatives.
