Center for Care Innovation and
Transformation (CCIT)
To build on the success of TCAB (Transforming Care at the Bedside), AONE has
developed the Center for Care Innovation and Transformation (CCIT), a new
program whose foundation will be the basic tenets of TCAB, though will go further in
addressing nursing leadership needs, culture change, and health care reform
implementation.
The program serves as a resource for nurse leaders seeking to transform not only the
way they care for patients, but also the culture in which they find themselves working, so
that innovation and transformation becomes a daily pattern. CCIT performance measures
will be aligned with the American Hospital Association’s (AHA) Hospitals in Pursuit of
Excellence (HPOE) initiative, where participating hospitals will collect and report data
according to the HPOE guidelines. This will enable standardization of reporting across the
country.
