Transformation and Quality Strategy Technical Assistance
Coordinated care organization (CCO) staff are invited to participate in technical assistance for developing their Transformation and Quality Strategy (TQS).

The projects included in each CCO's TQS are a showcase of current CCO work that aims to make significant movement in health system transformation. The work highlighted in the TQS is not a comprehensive catalogue or full representation of the CCO’s body of work in any component area.
