The Community–based Care
Transitions Program
• The CCTP, mandated by section 3026 of the
Affordable Care Act, provides funding to test
models for improving care transitions for high
risk Medicare beneficiaries.
• Increasing rates of avoidable hospital
readmissions will result in negative health
outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries impacting
their levels of safety and quality of care.
• The CCTP seeks to correct these deficiencies by
encouraging communities to come together and
work together to improve quality, reduce cost,
and improve patient experience.
