OpportunityTitle: Patient Care Coordination Demonstration Project
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below:  &#149; Current grantees funded for the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) component of FOA DP07-703, National Cancer Prevention and Control Program.    A Bona Fide Agent is an agency/organization identified by the state as eligible to submit an application under the state eligibility in lieu of a state application.  If applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, a letter from the state or local government as documentation of the status is required.
Description: Patient navigators working under the direction of case managers have been used by NBCCEDP grantees to mitigate barriers to screening for eligible women. These roles can and should be extended to benefit a broader population. Care models for populations under the PPACA will include the provision and coordination of primary and preventive services in settings such as Federally Qualified Health Clinics (FQHCs) and other community health systems. State Medicaid programs will cover a much larger portion of low-income women. Accordingly, this Demonstration Project (supplemental funding opportunity) will explore ways to extend proven cancer-related patient care coordination programs into new settings in preparation for impending changes in the health care delivery system.
