CMS Names First ACA Community-Based Care Transition Program Sites
CMS has announced the first seven sites for the Community-Based Care Transition Program (CCTP) under the ACA. The CCTP is designed to encourage the development of partnerships between hospitals with high readmission rates and community based organizations in order to: improve transitions of beneficiaries from the inpatient hospital setting to other care settings; improve quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries; reduce avoidable hospital readmissions for high risk beneficiaries; and document savings to Medicare. CMS continues to accept applications for this program.
