TQS technical assistance
The Transformation Center provided technical assistance to coordinated care organization (CCO) staff for developing their TQS (2018–2025).
-
Background: The TQS aimed to move health transformation by aligning and coordinating internal CCO health transformation and quality initiatives. The work highlighted in the TQS was not a comprehensive catalogue or full representation of the CCO’s body of work in any component area.
-
CCO submissions:
See prior TQS submissions for each CCO.
-
Timeline: The 2025 TQS attestation (covering January-December 2025) was due May 15, 2025. TQS has been removed from 2026 CCO contracts.
-
Contact: If you have questions, please contact Transformation.Center@odhsoha.oregon.gov.
2025 guidance
In 2025, CCOs attested to meeting TQS requirements instead of submitting a full TQS. For details, see the
CCO contract waiver memo (2/5/25).
