Applying for JCC project funding
A key objective for the Joint Collaborative Committees is to support collaboration and partnership building to improve patient care and the health care system. As part of these partnerships, some funding may be available for physicians to be involved or to lead innovative and relevant projects designed to improve patient care and build a stronger health care system.
The following provides a summary of some of the JCC project funding opportunities.
Shared Care Committee
The Shared Care Committee (SCC) encourages physicians to collaborate with other each other, other health care providers, and health system partners to address local gaps in care or to lead projects and initiatives that improve the health system.
Physicians can apply for funding and support, which can include compensation for their time and that of other health care providers when participating in the project or initiative. Funding and support can also include project management, quality improvement, and evaluation resources.
