The Michigan Primary Care Transformation Project (MiPCT) is a three-year multi-payer project aimed at improving health in the state, making care more affordable, and strengthening the patient-care team relationship. The MiPCT is state-wide in scope and is the largest Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) project in the nation. Five hundred primary care practices and 1800 primary care physicians that are affiliated with one of 41 physician/physician hospital organizations (POs/PHOs) are eligible to receive payments.
Assistance and support for practice transformation will take place through a collaborative network of POs/PHOs and shared learning opportunities facilitated by the MiPCT administrative staff. Focus areas for transformation under the demonstration include care management, self-management support, care coordination and linkages to community services.
The Project will work toward a common incentive model across health plans, and provide clinical models, resources and support aimed at avoiding emergency room and inpatient use for ambulatory sensitive conditions, reducing fragmentation of care among providers and involving the patient in decision-making.
