“The concept for UCOIN evolved from the desire to duplicate the conditions that allowed the success of TLI,” says Ms. McCalla, “and to leverage the lessons learned to enable the ACR to anticipate and manage challenges that will result from scaling up.”

If UCOIN follows the lessons of TLI, it should enjoy much success. Ms. McCalla underscores that the initial vision for TLI as a stand-alone, short-term experiment has blossomed into a national, well-respected health disparities program.

Because UCOIN is still in its infancy phase, Ms. McCalla encourages member input to help refine both the concept of UCOIN as well as the processes that support it. UCOIN will officially launch at the 2018 annual meeting.

Ms. McCalla urges members to keep an eye out for the launch at the annual meeting, as well as for information leading up to the annual meeting that will better inform them about the resources and opportunities available to them regarding UCOIN and how to access them.
