Deadline: 27 July 2016
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is currently inviting applications for its Integrating Cost-of-Care Conversation Resources into the Clinical Workflow program with an aim to support patients in making health care choices based on their needs and preferences, in collaboration with their care providers.
This solicitation seeks to establish best practices for how tools/resources that support cost-of-care conversations (e.g., cost estimator tools, conversation guides, and financial questions) can be better embedded into the clinical workflow and patient/caregiver “life flow.” Funded studies will thus explore these best practices for workflow integration, to ultimately help inform the development and refinement of tools, guides and resources for improving patient and clinician communication around costs and high-value care.
Funding Information
- Up to $900,000 will be available under this CFP.
- Project funding can be up to $250,000 to accommodate studies of up to 12 months.
