CCP prepares the interdisciplinary health care team for the new health care environment. With 75% of all health care costs due to chronic disease and 85% of avoidable costs due to health behaviors, the demand for CCP-certified professionals continues to grow. The Affordable Care Act, CMS, and state and private payer initiatives, are changing how physician, hospital, and skilled nursing providers are measured and reimbursed. Practitioners prepared to deliver better patient-level results will be positioned for success.
