Transforming Health Care

IHN-CCO’s Transformation Plan was approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid in 2013. The plan helps create programs and projects that improve local health care in Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties. IHN-CCO and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) work together to help achieve Oregon’s health system goals and encourage continuous quality improvement. IHN-CCO and OHA recognized that Transformation Plans will change over time and have revamped the Transformation Plan to include Quality Strategies, resulting in the Transformation and Quality Strategy.
