Michigan Multi-Specialty Action for Gynecologic Innovation & Care
MI-MAGIC is a University of Michigan program extending ovarian cancer prevention across surgical specialties, statewide. It exists because most aggressive ovarian cancers begin in the Fallopian tubes, and because most women who develop them had an earlier operation where the Fallopian tubes could have been removed.
Patient education and decision support
This website carries plain-language education, a private decision aid, and a growing evidence library. A validated ovarian cancer risk calculator and a Michigan referral directory (gynecology, genetic counseling, and other prevention services) are in development. The decision aid informs; it does not recommend - patients’ answers stay on their own devices.
Provider training and implementation
Approved Michigan clinicians get protected surgical training videos, a knowledge check and attestation, proctored initial cases, and a downloadable completion record for their institution’s privileging process. Public implementation fundamentals - patient selection, counseling, surgical conduct, billing and coding - are on the clinician page. Phase 1 focuses on appendectomy and colorectal surgery for women age 50 and older.
Statewide measurement
A dedicated data module in the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative (MSQC) registry, linked with claims data, will measure uptake, safety, and equity of opportunistic salpingectomy across MSQC’s 70 member hospitals. This website does not collect patient procedure or outcome data.
Funding and partners
The program is supported by the Canary Foundation (the surgical pilot and this community website and risk calculator) and a University of Michigan Frankel Award (the MSQC registry module and the patient decision aids). Outsmart Ovarian Cancer - Michigan, MI-MAGIC’s first initiative, is developed in partnership with Outsmart Ovarian Cancer. Patient and provider materials are adapted from British Columbia’s program, which has tracked opportunistic salpingectomy at the population level since 2010 and supplies much of the safety and effectiveness evidence.
What MI-MAGIC does not do
MI-MAGIC does not give individual medical advice, award CME credit, grant clinical privileges, or replace local medical-staff review. Hospitals and health systems make their own privileging decisions.
