The Michigan Rural Health Clinic Quality Network is an initiative started by dedicated RHCs throughout Michigan and the Michigan Center for Rural Health with a goal to measure and improve the quality of care in Michigan RHCs.In 2017, we formalized the RHC Quality Network, electing an executive board, adopted bylaws, added membership opportunities and changed our name to Michigan Rural Health Clinic Network. Moving forward the Michigan Rural Health Clinic Network (MRHCN) will still have an open meeting format for our quarterly meetings, however, we have added member only benefits to those who are committed to quality and financial benchmarking, as well as, additional education and compliance resources.
The PURPOSE of the Rural Health Clinic Network is to connect people, data, and resources to strengthen and benefit the RHC community and patients."
