Welcome to TCOM Conversations

TCOM-Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management. It is an approach grounded in a philosophy of a single shared vision–helping people achieve their health and wellness goals as they navigate healthcare, child welfare, justice, behavioral health, education, and other complex systems.

TCOM Conversations is jointly hosted by Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago and The Praed Foundation.
