Clinical Practice Guidelines
HAP CareSource approves and adopts evidence-based nationally accepted standards to help inform and guide providers about their clinical care of members. Care guidelines help caregivers provide the right care at the right time using the most current evidence to result in the best outcomes. HAP CareSource’s clinical and medical policy team continue to evaluate scientific data, published evidence, and directives from trustworthy health care organizations to promote and establish clinical guidelines. These guidelines are used in combination with your clinical judgement and knowledge as a physician.
These guidelines are researched, developed, and approved in partnership with the Michigan Quality Improvement Consortium | iMPROve Health. HAP CareSource is a key participant in the Michigan Quality Improvement Consortium (MQIC)— an organization of health plans focused on the health of our members in Michigan. MQIC is led by physicians and other clinical team members who evaluate scientific data and develop guidelines to help support the work of primary care physicians. MQIC’s goal is to standardize these practice guidelines to help all physicians in Southeast Michigan; and HAP CareSource is helping these efforts. MQIC reviews the guidelines every two years or as needed.
