Implementation of the Coordinated Transitional Care (CTraC) Program in VA: Overview and Lessons Learned

Abstract

The Coordinated Transitional Care (CTraC) program is an evidence-based, nurse-led program designed to meet VA’s need for transitional care that can serve a geographically dispersed population. The goal of CTraC is to reduce negative post-hospital outcomes and improve Veteran/family empowerment during the early post-hospitalization period.
