MISHC

The Michigan Structural Heart Consortium (MISHC) is a collaboration between the Michigan Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons (MSTCVS) and Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium (BMC2). MISHC is a quality improvement project designed to improve quality of care and patient outcomes in patients who undergo a percutaneous valve replacement procedure.

Support for MISHC is provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network as part of the BCBSM Value Partnerships program.

Further, BCBSM does not have access to MISHC data, and all patient episodes occurring at engaged hospitals are included in the data registries, regardless of payer.
