TI organizations can expect to participate in Quality Improvement Collaborative sessions (QICs) and Quality Improvement Workgroups (QIWs) led by the Arizona State University (ASU) Targeted Investments Program Improvement Collaborative (TIPIC) team. Each session will bring AHCCCS, ASU, MCOs, CBOs, and other stakeholders together to discuss challenges and share best practices for TI 2.0 policies and procedures.
Demonstrate Process/Procedures: Participants will be required to demonstrate that the procedures and processes developed in TI 2.0 Year 2 have been successfully implemented. AHCCCS will validate minimum elements required to meet the processes and procedures requirements.
