Spotlight on MPRO
Since 2000, MPRO has been a key partner in the Guidelines Applied in Practice (GAP) programs, an internationally recognized Quality Improvement (QI) program developed in concert with the American College of Cardiology and Michigan business health coalitions. The GAP projects have been published extensively in many peer reviewed journals including the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Health Affairs, and the Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Safety.
Over the past 20 years, MPRO has continually demonstrated excellence in clinical innovation through high quality studies and participation in cutting edge multi-state pilots. A direct outcome of MPRO’s consistently high performance is the recognition of our programs in peer reviewed medical journals.
Since 1998, MPRO authors have been published in the following national health care, medical research, and public health related journals and publications.
