Embedded Files
The Michigan Program on Value Enhancement (MPrOVE) is a joint initiative of the University of Michigan Health Quality Department and the U-M Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI). We are a strategic hub where clinical care, research, design, and healthcare operations converge to improve the value of care delivered at Michigan Medicine.
What We Do
What We Do
We focus on identifying care that doesn’t help patients—and replacing it with approaches that do.
Our team:
Targets opportunities to improve care and reduce unnecessary tests or treatments
Designs and tests new ideas in partnership with care teams
Measures what matters—appropriateness, cost, outcomes, and equity
Shares what works across Michigan Medicine and beyond
We don’t just ask “Can this be done?” — we ask “Is this the right thing to do for the patient?”

Our Approach
Our Approach
We work collaboratively with frontline clinicians, researchers and evaluators, system and departmental leaders, and policy and population health experts.
MPrOVE uses a two-pronged approach of quantitative and qualitative analytics to identify and assess targets of low-value care at Michigan Medicine.
Together, this mixed-methods framework guides the MPrOVE team and operational partners in development of interventions and implementation or deimplemetation plans.
MPrOVE faculty statisticians, clinicians, and methodology experts use a systematic process in their work.
Through this collaboration, we support project-specific improvement work and build the infrastructure to inform broader state and national health policy.
