QI Program

Our primary goal is to improve members’ health status. We do this through quality improvement activities implemented across all care settings. We also aim to improve quality of care and services delivered.

Scope

The scope of the QI Program is comprehensive. It addresses both the quality and safety of clinical care. It also addresses quality of services provided to Arkansas Total Care's members. This includes medical and behavioral health. It also includes dental and vision care.

We incorporate all care settings and services in QI activities. It includes preventive care and emergency care. It also includes primary care, specialty care, and acute care. Depending upon Arkansas Total Care’s products, it also includes short-term care and long-term care.
