CAPC Competition: The John A. Hartford Foundation Tipping Point Challenge
The Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) has launched a new round of The John A. Hartford Foundation Tipping Point Challenge, which is an innovation and quality improvement challenge to spread palliative care skills among all clinicians.
The John A. Hartford Foundation Tipping Point Challenge will catalyze innovation and quality improvement in the care of serious illness. The 10-month national challenge is open to all health care organizations, settings, disciplines, and specialties across the U.S.
Winning organizations, who will receive an honorarium, national recognition, and exposure, must make positive, breakthrough change in the care of serious illness and must align with one of three areas of high-impact innovation:
- Building Skills Among Nonpalliative Care Specialties and Disciplines: Improving communication skills and/or pain and symptom management skills among all specialists treating CHF, COPD, and cancer
- Improving Systematic Access to Specialty Palliative Care
- Reaching the Patients in Need: Implementing a population health approach to identify and address patients with serious illness and unmet needs
Submissions can reflect initiatives developed and implemented any time within the last three years. They will be rigorously vetted, using an evaluation by an external panel of judges representing expertise matched to the areas of innovation.
Organizations can sign up between June 2020-March 2021. Project submissions will take place during April 2021. CAPC will announce 25 finalists from the high-scoring projects in July 2021 and winning organizations will be announced November 2021.
