2012: IAVA MADE HISTORY
Rapid Response Referral Program (RRRP)
In December of 2012, IAVA launched the Rapid Response Referral Program (RRRP). A forerunner to IAVA’s Quick Reaction Force, RRRP was a high-tech, high-touch case management and referral services program. We called it RRRP because it ripped through the bureaucracy – it was help without the hassle.
