Coalition To Transform Advanced Care

Coalition engagement: c-tac is organizing a growing Coalition To spread effective Care models and advocate for change. We convene our members To partner, as well as identify opportunities and policy barriers To these models. Based on this research we regularly publish reports such as the Care models compendium and provide additional tools To our Coalition members such as the annual Advanced Care transformation (act) report To track publicly reported metrics. Through grant partnerships, we are also piloting programs in louisville (ky) and pittsburgh (pa) To provide data To support our policy agenda around strengthening community-based organizations and community leaders.

Summit: the c-tac national summit on Advanced illness Care is an annual event To convene participants from many disciplines and organizations, representing patients, families, policy makers, faith communities, media, and health Care professionals gathered To learn and discuss the needed changes in our nation's Care system To assure that people with Advanced illnesses receive Care consistent with their values and wishes. The conference has two goals: (1) To create a common understanding among participants of the issues, challenges, and range of possible solutions; (2) To create a shared sense of mission and action steps for achieving high-quality, Advanced illness care.please see our website for a full post summit report.

Policy & advocacy: in collaboration with our members and partners, c-tac works To ensure that all individuals living with serious illness, especially those who are underserved and under-resourced, have a high quality of life on their own terms. Our core principles for Care models serve as the guidance in our policy work. Included in our principles is our commitment To advancing equity and dismantling systemic barriers To high quality Care for those with serious illness, which we have integrated into our three policy priorities: advance Care planning (acp) and shared decision-making (sdm), community-based supports and services, and state innovation on palliative Care.
