ABOUT TCOM, CANS, & ANSA
Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management (TCOM)As summarized by the John Praed Foundation, human services, including health care, are often complex because of the number of different people involved in the process of care. In complex systems participants always have different perspectives and often have competing responsibilities and objectives. Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management (TCOM) is a conceptual framework for managing complex system. Within this framework there is a philosophy, a strategy, and a set of tactics all designed to facilitate an effective and integrated approach to addressing the needs of people.
The TCOM approach is grounded in the concept that the various perspectives in a complex service system creates conflicts. The tensions that results from these conflicts are best managed by keeping a focus on common objectives—a shared vision. In human service enterprises, the shared vision is the person (or people served). In health care, the shared vision is the patient; in the child serving system, it is the child and family, and so forth. By creating systems that all return to this shared vision, it is easier to create and manage effective and equitable systems.
