HAP CareSource™ utilizes evidence-based nationally accepted standards and guidelines to help inform and guide providers about their clinical care of members. The Michigan Quality Improvement Consortium (MQIC) is a collaborative effort to develop and implement standard clinical guidelines and performance measures and is overseen by the Michigan Association of Health Plans (MAHP). MAHP recognizes the expertise and evidence-based knowledge that the guidelines represent. The MAHP advocates the adoption and implementation of the MQIC Clinical Practice Guidelines as the accepted standards of care to promote quality care and better health outcomes for Michiganders. The consortium works to establish and update clinical practice guidelines for use by healthcare professionals and health plans. Guidelines are reviewed on a two-year cycle.

Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are available to providers and may be communicated to practitioners through newsletters, direct mailings, our Provider Manual and focused meetings with HAP CareSource Health Partner Engagement Specialists. These guidelines assist in improving member health outcomes. CPG topics are chosen through analysis of our member population demographics and state/national health priorities. The guidelines focus on key chronic diseases, preventive health measures and screening recommendations for both medical and behavioral health concerns.
