title: CHIN building, step one: create a consensus.
abstract: The Big Three automakers long have wanted Michigan health care providers to give them outcomes data so the care companies could gauge the cost-effectiveness of the care their workers get in the Detroit area. At first, the car companies saw the fledgling Michigan Health Management Information System as the way to finally get the data they've wanted. Eventually, though, after long discussions with other network participants, the carmakers opted to scale back expectations, agreeing that the network should focus first on moving administrative transactions between health care purchasers, payers and providers.
