Mission and Key Strategies of the Maine Health Management Coalition
Mission
The MHMC is an employer-led partnership among multiple stakeholders working collaboratively to maximize improvement in the value of healthcare services delivered to MHMC members’ employees and dependents.
We execute our mission by:
Engaging employees/dependents to understand and seek high quality healthcare and facilitating the use of cost and quality information by employers and employees to make informed decisions.
Measuring and reporting on the cost of healthcare services.
Promoting the development and adoption of payment and incentive systems that reward providers for improving quality and efficiency.
Promoting benefit designs that encourage high value healthcare.
Fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders through facilitation, negotiation and mediation to accelerate the process of consensus building.
Promoting an urgency for market driven health care reform to improve quality and contain the direct and indirect costs of healthcare
Key Strategies:
Assisting employers to implement the principles of value based healthcare purchasing: standardized performance measures, transparency and public reporting, payment reform, and informed choice.
Challenging employers to act as, and see themselves as, leaders and as “critical external motivators” in encouraging providers and health plans to embrace, lead, and implement the redesign of healthcare delivery.
