We shared beyond Michigan with data on PCI and same-day discharge presented during the American College of Cardiology’s 73rd Annual Scientific Session & Expo in Atlanta earlier this month. We also co-signed a letter of support for legislation that aims to improve access to cardiac rehab for patients across the nation.
We are grateful for your engagement in the network BMC2 fosters. THANK YOU for your commitment to improving quality of care and outcomes for patients not only in Michigan but nationally and globally.

A Peek Inside the BMC2 Coordinating Center
The BMC2 Coordinating Center team worked on skills to improve workflow management during a half-day of professional development on Thursday, April 11th. The event included an opportunity to bring existing and anticipated projects to a small group breakout time where we focused on a workflow mapping activity. We are excited to implement the techniques we learned to elevate the resources and support we offer you as members of the consortium.
