Dear Quality Champions and Practice Administrators,

The past year was filled with amazing accomplishments from all of our member practices, and we look forward to continuing to support you in advancing our mission of preserving and supporting the highest quality pediatric care.

We are excited to build on last year’s momentum as we launch the 2024 TCCN Quality Program. We will continue to renew our commitment to excellence by focusing on moving the needle forward on quality improvement outcomes. Our network objectives for this year include the following: to improve well child visit compliance rates, appropriate treatment for Asthmatics, increasing rates of appropriate screening rates for depression and adoption of ADHD guidelines, and continuing progress on meeting network minimum standard requirements by the end of this year.
