About NTOCC
The National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC) was formed in 2006 bringing together thought leaders, patient advocates, and health care providers from various care settings dedicated to improving the quality of care coordination and communication when patients are transferred from one level of care to another. Transitions in care include a patient moving from primary care to specialty physicians; within the hospital it would include patients moving from the emergency department to various departments, such as surgery or intensive care; or when patients are discharged from the hospital and go home, into an assisted living arrangements or into a skilled nursing facility.
NTOCC has over 30 participating associations and organizations addressing the critical issues surrounding transitions of care. NTOCC views transitions of care as a major challenge to health care delivery and realizes it can only be solved by breaking down the silos and barriers between different health care settings and working collaboratively for the good of the patient. Whether you are a patient, care giver, health care professional, policy maker or media representative, NTOCC can provide you with information and tools to better understand, and improve, transitions of care challenges.
