In addition to its active participation in NRHI, NBCH, and NQF, MHMC has established national partnerships with both the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI), and the New Hampshire Citizen’s Health Initiative (CHI).

The Maine Health Management Coalition is also a Leapfrog Rollout State, which is a national initiative to increase the transparency of quality at individual hospitals.  The Coalition is the only rollout participant to have achieved their 100% participation goal, and according to Leapfrog’s Executive Director, Leah Binder, the Coalition is “leading the nation in performance improvement.”
