The CTI® is uniquely focused on providing patients and family caregivers with the skills, confidence, and tools they need to assert a more active role in their care and ensure that their needs are met. Unlike most of the current approaches available, the CTI® was co-designed with patients and families and was evaluated using the most rigorous scientific approach – randomized controlled trials.
Our Key Findings
Patients who received the CTI® were significantly less likely to be readmitted to the hospital, and the benefits were sustained for five months after the end of the one-month intervention.
Thus, rather than simply managing post-hospital care in a reactive manner, imparting self-management skills pays dividends long after the program ends. Anticipated net cost savings for a typical Transitions Coach® panel of 350 chronically ill adults with an initial hospitalization over 12 months is conservatively estimated at $365,000. Patients who received this program were also more likely to achieve self-identified personal goals around symptom management and functional recovery.
Looking to be successful under bundled payment or ACOs? Here is why the CTI® is a great fit!
20-50%
reduction in hospital readmissions
When organizations are trained by the Care Transitions Program® and follow model fidelity, they can expect reductions in readmission rate of 20-50% (reduction depends on current readmission rate). Reducing readmissions can also improve your CMS Star rating.
$365K
net saving per Transitions Coach®
An Independent evaluator estimates a $110 PMPM cost savings.
52%
Patients meeting or exceeding self-identified personal care goals
The majority of patient goals reflect better quality of life and improved functional status.
