MPrOVE focuses on improving quality and demonstrating the value of care at Michigan Medicine, while at the same time catalyzing collaborative research efforts to inform state and national policy decisions. MPrOVE brings together experts in research, design, management and clinical care to support transformative approaches in evaluation and implementation through the lens of appropriateness.
What We Do, What We've Done
Insights Core
Our approach: Advanced analytics to identify low-value care, define appropriateness, and develop interventions.
Innovation to Implementation Lab
Giving a boost to research on healthcare value and implementing evidence for real-world problem-solving.
Telehealth Research Incubator
IHPI researchers are exploring the potential for these tools to improve value, optimize patient care, and expand access to health services.
Evaluating Evidence
Rigorous testing to determine the appropriateness of testing, imaging, and other health services.
Research Innovation Challenge
Driving team science by encouraging the development of interdisciplinary research projects focused on optimizing value in healthcare.
MPrOVE and value in healthcare
Value in healthcare is important for patients, doctors, hospitals, insurance companies - pretty much anyone who has a stake in how healthcare is delivered. But “value” is kind of hard to put your finger on. How can it be measured? How can it be improved? That’s where the Michigan Program on Value Enhancement – or MPrOVE – comes in.
