TCOM CONVERSATIONS

Here’s What Happened

About 300 people gathered at the Drake Hotel in Chicago last week to attend the 14th annual Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management conference. Person-centered care was the theme of this our conference this year, and we were excited to collaborate with domestic and international participants.

Workshops focused on how to make best use of TCOM tools in practice, implementations, and supervision. Participants learned how to make meaningful use of CANS data, including using it for effective planning and for measuring well-being. This year also featured a learning track on safety culture. Despite the wide range of topics covered, every presentation was connected through the belief that making that people we serve full partners in the process of care is how transformation happens.

Conference organizers, Katherine Sun and Michelle Fernando, and additional team members produced an agenda that featured presentations from multiple levels of the system. These included a collaborative workshop by Parent Consultant, Jennifer Griffis, and Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago’s Director of Communication, Marrianne McMullen. They collaborated for months leading up to the conference to share their personal stories and work to produce an interactive session for all attendees. We also had the pleasure of inviting Antonella Di Troia and Anna Didoni from Fondazione IRCCS “Ca’Granda” Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico to deliver a key note address and an additional presentation on how the CANS has been adapted to meet the needs of the children they serve.

Scholarships and Learning Opportunities
