Mission: Organization's mission or most significant activities coalition to transform advanced care (c-tac) is a non-partisan group of patient and consumer advocacy groups, health care professionals and providers, private sector stakeholders, faith-based organizations, and healthcare payers. Our vision is that all americans with advanced illness, especially the sickest and the most vulnerable, will receive comprehensive, high-quality care that is consistent with their goals and values and honors their dignity. The c-tac mission is to transform advanced illness care by empowering consumers, changing the health caredelivery system, improving public and private policies, and enhancing provider capacity.
Programs: Summit: the c-tac national summit on advanced illness care is an annual event to convene participants from many disciplines and organizations, representing patients, families, policy makers, faith communities, media, and health care professionals gathered to learn and discuss the needed changes in our nation's care system to assure that people with advanced illnesses receive care consistent with their values and wishes. The conference has two goals: (1) to create a common understanding among participants of the issues, challenges, and range of possible solutions; (2) to create a shared sense of mission and action steps for achieving high-quality, advanced illness care. Please see our website for a full post summit report.

It is building on the progress first realized with the advanced care project. It is a proven service delivery model and proposed new advanced alternative payment model (aapm) to improve quality and cost outcomes for advanced illness beneficiaries. The acm is specifically designed to meet these needs by "breaking down a range of silos between 'curative and palliative care, between professional groups to foster interdisciplinary practice, and between traditional medical and social services" (iom report: dying in america). The acm aapm payment can operate as a stand-alone apm and or in conjunction with existing apms to ensure all medicare ffs beneficiaries can access the needed acm services. Furthermore, the acm supports primary care and/or specialty provider participation.
