The Michigan Anticoagulation Quality Improvement Initiative (MAQI²) is a multi-center collaborative of anticoagulation clinics across the state of Michigan.

MAQI² seeks to improve the safety, quality of care and outcomes of patients requiring anticoagulation.

Data on patients receiving anticoagulant therapy management from participating outpatient clinics are entered into a clinical registry at the MAQI² Coordinating Center, which is located within the Michigan Cardiovascular Outcomes Research and Reporting Program (MCORRP) at the University of Michigan.

Several quality metrics are used to compare performance between sites. Participating sites meet on a quarterly basis to review quality metrics, share Best Practices, and learn about the most recent anticoagulation management guidelines and research. Quality improvement initiatives are conducted to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
