Position Your Organization for Success

Both the World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine agree that chronic care is a new practice model for which nurses and other health care professionals need comprehensive, specialized training. CCP certification demonstrates that your staff have been appropriately prepared for their new roles, providing a critical edge in proposals and contracting.

Deliver Improved Value to Customers and Members

Engaging members in making lifestyle changes and managing chronic conditions should be a formal, evidence-based practice. To deliver better program outcomes and return on investment for purchasers, it is essential that case management and disease management staff master evidence-based medicine support, patient partnering, behavior change facilitation and health coaching competencies.

Streamline New Hire Orientation and Reduce Turnover

Developing, updating and administering a comprehensive internal orientation program for case management and disease management staff is costly--particularly when considering total FTE requirements. Additionally, most nurses from acute care or traditional case management settings experience difficulties transitioning to their new roles--resulting in suboptimal performance, long learning curves, and turnover.

Choose the Only Nationally Recognized Certification Program

CCP certification, offered in partnership with DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance, is the only nationally recognized professional development and certification program for health coaching, disease management and case management professionals.
