Training
CCS Health™ Training | Community Health Worker.
Our Community Health Worker (CHW) Fundamental training is delivered in-person or online in three-to-seven week sessions. During the program, new and experienced Community Health Workers become CCS CHW Care Coordinators by building skills in relationship building, coaching, home visiting, trauma-informed care, basic organization, and care coordination through group activities. Through the cohort, CHWs also develop a collaborative network with work peers, making them more resilient and effective in their roles in their communities.
Along with role-based learning, participants develop competency in our Community Health Record and other CCS Health systems. We find that by incorporating technology and aligning to our data-collection standards, trained CHWs can convert more of their work to payments and high-quality data for their organizations.
Features:
- Basic competencies align with the National Community Health Worker Study, Community Health Worker Core Consensus Project (C3)
- Practicum (~120 hours) is completed with the trainee’s agency to enhance practical application of care-coordination skills
- Graduates receive a CCS CHW Care Coordinator certificate
- Must be paired with our CCS Health solutions

Care Transitions Intervention® Training | Transitions Coach®.
Care Transitions Intervention (CTI) is a 30-day evidence-based model designed to support patients transitioning from hospital to home. During the program, patients with complex needs (and/or family caregivers) work with a Transitions Coach to navigate this crucial, overwhelming time while building health self-management skills that have lasting long-term impacts on quality of life and well-being. The intervention consists of five encounters: a hospital visit (when possible), a home visit, and three follow-up phone calls after the home visit.
When our evidence-based coaching model is coupled with technology, we streamline tracking and reporting, and with bi-directional information flow, extend the use of existing information to reduce data entry and reduce manual errors.
Features:
- Evidence-based training delivered to client-management employees or contractors
- Access to the monthly CTI Community Learning call; a peer-driven advanced educational resource/offering
- Track Care Transitions Intervention metrics (e.g., medication discrepancies, patient activation, skill development, etc.) with CTI+
- Able to run alongside our CCS Health™ solutions
Highest percentage of reduced readmission experienced by hospitals that implement CTI. Average reduced readmission between 20% and 70%.
