Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management (TCOM) explained.
TCOM is an ethical, child-centred and scientifically robust approach to improving care. A way we can all work together to improve children’s lives, faster.
“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 is a framework for managing such a complex system.
Within this framework there is a philosophy, an assessment strategy, and a set of tactics all designed to facilitate an effective and integrated approach to addressing the needs of people.”
Dr. John Lyons, The Praed Foundation
Assessment is at the heart of the TCOM approach. TCOM’s ‘communimetric’ assessment system provides a universal ‘framework of understanding’ that directly supports communication and decision-making at every level in the care system – from immediate case planning to service development and improvement.
