MCMS Community Health Consortium (CHC)/Quality CollaborativeOverview In September 2023, MCMS leadership decided to rebrand the MCMS Quality Collaborative as the MCMS Community Health Consortium (CHC). This impetus for this decision is meant to best leverage MCMS’ position as a neutral platform to better serve its physician members, patients and the healthcare community at large. The new CHC will continue the legacy of the Quality Collaborative and will continue to evolve over time with the changing needs of the community and MCMS. Purpose/ Objectives CHC and its committees will be working immediately to strengthen community and system partnerships, increase collaboration amongst both internal committees and workgroup and external stakeholders, and provide a platform for both MCMS members and the Rochester-area health community at large to create a vibrant and vital physician workforce that will drive positive changes in healthcare for all providers and patients. Structure Under the CHC, three pillars of impact will be the focus of the Consortium’s ongoing commitment to quality improvement and creating meaningful, positive impact for physicians and the patients they serve: I. Physician Workforce: Physician Wellness Committee Private Practice Committee II. Healthcare Delivery Innovation: Population Health Committee Mental Illness & Addiction Committee III.
