Michigan's Quality Improvement Guidebook
|
In March 2008, Michigan was selected to participate in a third round of the Multi-State Learning Collaborative (MLC-3). Through a competitive process, 16 states were chosen to further enhance the efforts of states already conducting systematic performance and capacity assessment or accreditation programs and quality improvement activities with their public health departments. The goal of MLC-3 is to bring state and local practitioners and other stakeholders together in a community of practice that will 1) advance the application of quality improvement methods that results in specific, measurable improvements, and the institutionalization of quality improvement practice in public health departments; 2) contribute to the development of the national voluntary accreditation program; and 3) prepare local and state health departments for national accreditation. Through this grant and under the direction of the Michigan MLC-3 Steering Committee, a project team (MPHI, MDCH, and LHD members), with the aid of 2 mentors, will guide 4 LHDs through mini-collaborative projects designed to implement and evaluate QI processes in public health. Each mini-collaborative will consist of two LHDs and a mentor. Two mini-collaboratives will be established each year of the three-year grant period.
