Hitinder Gurm, M.B.B.S., professor of internal medicine, said that after 25 years, it’s clear that the statewide cardiovascular collaborative BMC2, formally known as the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium, has made all of the providers better. Member hospitals share their data, best practices, and lessons learned with each other to improve patient care and reduce health care costs.
