The Michigan Primary Care Consortium (MPCC) is a collaborative private/public partnership of organizations committed to improving the delivery of primary healthcare in Michigan and to rebuilding the primary healthcare workforce. The Consortium was organized in 2006 in response to an invitation from the Chronic Disease Division of the Michigan Department of Community Health to primary care stakeholders to collaborate in resolving the system level barriers that were impeding the consistent delivery of effective chronic illness and preventive care in primary care settings.
Since 2007, the Consortium has promoted the transformation of primary care practices to patient- centered medical homes. The Improving Performance in Practice (IPIP) project has provided insight into the difficulties and successes experienced by primary care practices while implementing the model. In 2010, MPCC workgroups are completing initiatives in three major arenas: practice transformation, engagement of consumers of healthcare, and rebuilding the primary care workforce. See MPCC History and What We Are Doing for more information.
A basic assumption of the Consortium is that transformative changes in complex systems are best accomplished through the collaborative efforts of all key stakeholders. MPCC members have a vested interest in primary healthcare and/or health system change and affirm the Mission, Vision, and Guiding Principles of the MPCC. MPCC's members represent diverse organizations:
