We’re looking for scalable solutions to fight fragmentation
As part of our larger commitment to patient safety, our 2025 focus for grant funding is reducing fragmentation across care settings. A top concern in the field of patient safety, breakdowns in care from a fragmented healthcare system can lead to readmissions, missed diagnoses, medication errors, delayed treatment, duplicative testing and procedures, and reduction in quality of care leading to general patient and provider dissatisfaction.
We’re excited to fund approaches that take on these safety concerns. For the Foundation’s grant funding, contributing to a solution means supporting scalable or replicable solutions, focusing on the testing of new ideas or growing existing solutions, and then seeing avenues for larger application. This will be our last grant cycle focused on reducing fragmentation across care settings.
