July 1st, 2021 marked the start of NC Medicaid Transformation with the transition to Standard Care Plans. NC DHHS has begun the process of preparing for Tailored Care Management (TCM) to begin on December 1st, 2022. To prepare for this, DHHS has developed partnerships with North Carolina Area Health Education Center (NC AHEC) to provide practice support, technical assistance, and continuing professional development to help Tailored Care Management providers who have applied and passed the desk review in the transition to Tailored Care Management. The TCM Continuing Professional Development programs are designed to assist TCM candidates with evidenced-based practices in all treatment settings for the successful implementation of TCM.


Participants will learn step-by-step how to implement a tobacco-free campus policy and integrate tobacco use treatment in diverse programs, including inpatient, community-based, residential, and long-term services and supports. The course instructors will also discuss community resources, including QuitlineNC, that can help patients/clients quit. Participants will come away with a comprehensive framework to address all forms of tobacco use, including e-cigarette use, at a systems level with their policy and treatment integration process.
