Custom Pilot Grant
Design pilots and programs that improve primary care team capacity, bandwidth and joy
Purpose
Supports the development of pilots and programs that improve primary care team capacity, bandwidth and joy. This grant gives providers an opportunity to be creative and tell HPSM how they can use additional funding to bolster the 3Rs - Recruitment, Retention, and Resilience for the primary care team.
Examples
- Update workflows that ensure staff work at the top of their licensure and teams share the care.
- Develop procedures for proactive inbox management that distributes and/or reduces click counts, provider pajama time and administrative burden.
- Integration of AI for documentation or care coordination.
If you would like help designing a grant that is tailored to your team’s specific needs, we can brainstorm possibilities with you. For example, if you want to address a particular issue your team struggles with, we may be able to suggest potential actions for your grant proposal.
