California PACEs Action

Announcing the Connected Care Accelerator (Request for Applications) [Center for Care Innovations]

 

The Connected Care Accelerator, an initiative of the California Health Care Foundation, has been designed in partnership with the Center for Care Innovations to support safety net practices — including community health centers and independent physician practices that predominantly serve low-income communities — in different implementation phases of “virtual care,” also commonly known as “telehealth” or “telemedicine.” The accelerator has two separate tracks:

  • For the Infrastructure and Spread track, CHCF will provide $50,000 grants to up to 30 safety net practices to expand and improve virtual care. The support will be tailored to achieve geographic diversity with a focus on safety net providers whose patients are predominantly covered by Medi-Cal, uninsured, and communities of color. The goal of this track is to support early implementation and build the necessary infrastructure to provide virtual care.
  • For the Innovation Learning Collaborative track, CHCF will provide $100,000 grants and technical assistance to up to 20 safety net practices where the majority of their patients are covered by Medi-Cal and uninsured. This track is designed for organizations further along in their implementation of virtual care approaches and have a committed team to test, learn, and share best practices.
