Demographic Data Transition – 3-Pronged Strategy
After extensive research, numerous workgroups, and a thorough review of critical stakeholder feedback, AHCCCS has developed a 3-pronged strategy to transition the collection of demographic data
Goal is to reduce the number of data points providers will be required to report in order to relieve administrative burden, and to ensure that the current burdensome process is not duplicated with the implementation of the AHCCCS Complete Care (ACC) Program
