As you read this week, keep in mind that healthcare advocacy plays an important role in supporting the needs of the population, and that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) offers many opportunities for healthcare advocacy.
The Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) is an example of a program that focuses on the development of models that are designed to improve patient care transitions and to reduce hospital readmissions. See the CTTP Fact Sheet for a brief overview of the Community-Based Care Transitions Program and information on how consumers can advocate in this area. [For additional information, you may visit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) at https://innovation.cms.gov/initiatives/CCTP/.]

Directions:
After reviewing the fact sheet and visiting the CMS website, develop a two- to three-page outline (this does not include the required title and reference pages) of your plan to convince providers in your area to submit a proposal for funding of a Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) in your community. You will take this outline with you when you meet with the different providers and use it as talking points.
Your document should include the following.
I. What is the Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP)?
II. How will the CCTP improve transitions of care for Medicare beneficiaries?
III. How will the CCTP reduce hospital readmissions for high risk Medicare beneficiaries?
IV. How will the CCTP improve quality of care?
V. How will the CCTP reduce costs for the Medicare Program?
