Abstract: The Medicare Community-Based Care Transitions Program (CCTP), authorized by Section 3026 of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, is a major component of the Partnership for Patients initiative, one goal of which is to decrease preventable complications during transition from a care setting, such as a hospital, to home, community, or another care setting. Appendix A contains a copy of the relevant portion of the legislation. The CCTP will provide funding to test models for improving care transitions from the hospital to the community for high-risk Medicare beneficiaries. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiated the CCTP in early 2011 and will operate the program for five years. Congress has authorized $500 million to cover the cost of the program. CMS expects that program agreements will be in place to authorize community-based organizations (CBOs), in partnership with acute care hospitals, to begin providing care transition services in November 2011 and, if successful, continue doing so for up to five years. The planned collection of a participant experience survey is part of the implementation and monitoring strategy that will review the performance of organizations contracted to provide transitional care services under the CCTP. This clearance package seeks approval for the participant experience survey.
