"COMMUNITY-BASED CARE TRANSITIONS" PROGRAM (CCTP)
The Affordable Care Act.
Program Description
Through the “Community-Based Care Transitions” Program health care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, nursing care homes, hospitals and other health care providers can all work to help reduce patient readmissions in the following manner:
-Start care transition services no later than 24 hours prior to discharge
-Provide timely, culturally, and linguistically competent post-discharge education regarding symptoms that may indicate additional health problems or a warning signs of a deteriorating condition
-Help to ensure timely and productive appointments and interactions between patients, doctors, post-acute and outpatient providers
-Help educate on patient-centered self-management support and relevant information specific to a health condition
-Medication review and management (including, if appropriate, counseling and self-management support)
Hospitals have traditionally served to reduce readmissions by focusing on issues such as quality of care during hospitalization and the discharge planning process. However, there are many factors along the care continuum that can effect hospital readmissions. The “Community-Based Care Transitions” Program aims to identify these factors and encourage all organizations involved to work together to improve quality of care and reduce health care costs. The program is a part of the “Partnership for Patients,” which aims to reduce preventative errors in hospitals and reduce hospital readmissions.
