2019: A Year In Review
2019 was a year of innovations in service delivery and technology at AHCCCS. Highlights include integrating physical and behavioral health services for 99% of enrolled members, adding new transportation provider types, expanding telehealth to increase access to services in rural areas, and serving 41,000 Arizonans with Opioid Use Disorder.
Targeted Investments Program Providers Invited to Quality Improvement Collaborative  
AHCCCS, the ASU College of Health Solutions, and the ASU Center for Health Information and Research (CHiR) are partnering to design and implement a Quality Improvement Collaborative (QIC) that will support Targeted Investments Program providers with interim updates on their Year 4 Quality Measures performance, technical and quality improvement assistance, and peer learning. Monthly virtual meetings will offer providers the opportunity to share ideas and work on challenges as they transition to be able to provide whole person care to AHCCCS members. If you are a Targeted Investments Program provider and have not received a registration link please notify the TI team at: targetedinvestments@azahcccs.gov.
