The MHA is providing office hours to support birthing hospitals with meeting the Michigan Maternal Levels of Care (MLC) program requirements needed to receive maternal health quality improvement state funding. The goal is to ensure hospitals have the appropriate information needed to complete an application for The Joint Commission’s MLC Verification program.

• For birthing hospitals that have already completed the MLC application in 2024
  Office hours are hosted bimonthly, on the third Thursday of every other month, beginning Sept. 19. Registration for office hours is required and members are asked to register by the end of business the Wednesday prior to a session. The last session under this cohort is March 20. Ongoing MLC support for hospitals who completed MLC verification will be determined based on needs and may be incorporated with general MI-AIM collaborative opportunities.

• For birthing hospitals planning to apply for MLC verification in 2025
  Office hours begin March 6. Schedule and frequency of calls will be determined based on applicant needs. Additional information, including registration, is being developed.
