Chronic disease management has been a significant driver of healthcare utilization over the last decade, particularly for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)—one of the most expensive chronic diseases in the U.S. In response, MVC recently partnered with the Michigan Collaborative for Type 2 Diabetes (MCT2D) to produce a comprehensive statewide report on T2D, which impacts over 1 million adults in Michigan. The findings of this report were presented at the Michigan Obesity Summit, offering crucial insights into the demographics, healthcare utilization, and prescription patterns among patients with T2D in Michigan, insured by various providers from 2017 to 2023. To learn more about the key findings and trends, read this week’s blog: https://lnkd.in/gtcHQHCp #ChronicDiseaseManagement #Diabetes #PublicHealth #HealthInnovation

The MVC Coordinating Center recently published its annual Qualified Entity Certification Program (QECP) public report for 2024. Achieving QE certification allows MVC to provide hospital members with more detailed Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) claims data than standard CMS data use agreements typically permit. This year marks MVC’s third public QECP report, featuring invaluable insights into Michigan hospital performance on two key measures: (1) Rates of 30-day rehospitalizations following the start of home health care (2) Rates of outpatient follow-up after hospitalization for congestive heart failure (CHF) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Learn about key findings and delve into the full 2024 report here: https://lnkd.in/gq6zDebf #Healthcare #Medicare #DataInsights #HospitalPerformance #QualityImprovement
