Welcome to CTI®
The Care Transitions Intervention® (CTI®) is an evidence-based, short-term model that complements a systems’ care team by empowering the client to develop self-care skills and helps them assume a more activated role in their health through a whole-person approach.
During a 30-day program, clients with complex care needs (and/or family care partners) work with a Transitions Coach®, to build and practice self-management skills that will ensure their needs are met during the transition from facility to home. A Transitions Coach® gets the time to understand, motivate, and explore what matters to the client by putting them in the driver’s seat. Together they navigate through personal skill development, taking charge of self-management tools, and gaining confidence in four key areas of health, known as the Four Pillars® (medication management, medical care follow-up visits, personal health record, and knowing their symptom warning signs).
The Transitions Coach® role is new — it’s whole person, patient-first care, and it works.
20-50%
Reduction in Hospital Readmissions
When organizations are trained and follow CTI model fidelity, they can expect reductions in readmission rates of 20-50% (reduction depends on current readmission rate).
10X-20X ROI
When Systems & Community Collaborate
The Skill Transfer Model®
significantly increases patient activation with lasting benefits
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 only managing post-hospital care in a reactive manner, coaches impart self-management skills that pay dividends long after the program ends.
