Michigan State Medical Society announced Oct. 20 it is joining a new coalition focused on preserving and strengthening healthcare teams around the state.
Michigan for Advancing Collaborative Care Teams advocates for policies that improve and strengthen inter-professional relationships and aim to ensure the state's physician oversight structure is working as intended.
"Made up of a growing number of healthcare providers and patient advocacy organizations united and committed in the belief that the time-tested, physician-led, patient-centered model of care is the very best way to increase health care access without compromising patient safety or quality of care, MiACCT exists to fight for what’s best for Michigan’s patients," the society said in a press release.
