That's why M-CARE has set standards for its network of primary care physicians and specialists that encourage timely access to health care in scheduling appointments and seeing patients. These standards have been developed and approved by M-CARE's Quality Improvement Committee. To make sure that the standards work for both members and doctors, the M-CARE Quality Improvement Department continually collects and monitors appointment data through its access monitoring program. Primary care includes the specialties of internal medicine, family practice, general practice and pediatrics.
