The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium (BMC2) is a collaborative consortium of health care providers in the State of Michigan which was created in 1997.  BMC2 is comprised of 4 statewide quality improvement projects:

• A prospective multicenter statewide registry of consecutive percutaneous coronary interventions (BMC2 PCI).
• A Primary PCI initiative, similar to BMC2 PCI.
• A prospective, longitudinal multicenter statewide registry of vascular surgeries and carotid interventions (BMC2).
• Michigan TAVR, a structural heart quality improvement initiative operated in collaboration with the Michigan Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons.

All projects are designed to improve quality of care and patient outcomes. The collaboration across BMC2 overcomes the barriers of traditional market and academic competition. All projects collect, audit and organize data and report procedural variables and outcomes to individual operators and institutions.
