Successful proposals will describe how grant funds will be used to support and enhance sustained and compassionate personal relationships between patients and families and their healthcare providers. Proposals should describe specific initiatives for maintaining the continuity of compassionate relationships between patients and all levels of care providers — especially where team-based care or care transitions can leave patients confused about who is coordinating their care. We are interested in supporting innovations that foster continuity in caring relationships — not just continuity in data and patient management systems.
