Partners in Care/Transitions in Care

 

January 28, 2026: A temporary pause on intake of Expressions of Interest was announced today, encompassing the March 15 and May 15 periods. The Shared Care Committee will be updating its approach to ensure its work aligns with the Physician Services Committee's direction for 2026-27 and to respond to feedback from the community. Over the next few months, the Committee will conduct a review of the priorities and funding methodologies of the Partners in Care / Transitions in Care portfolio, with an anticipated revised program launch in late spring.

What this means for project teams:

  • EOIs received during the January 15 intake will proceed as normal. 

  • There are no changes for those with active EOIs and projects.

  • Full proposal submissions, gate releases, extensions, and sustainability, will continue as normal, though additional feedback on funding parameters may be provided.

  • Upon reopening, we aim to launch an updated set of project parameters along with resources to support your project’s success.

If you have questions, please reach out to your regional liaison. We will update this page as soon as we have further information to share.

Note: Until further notice, funding for cancer care-related projects through the Partners in Care/Transitions in Care initiative will be paused. Shared Care has put out a Call for Proposals focused on cancer care and has allocated funding for both expressions of interest and full proposals resulting from this process. The SCC would like to direct any cancer care-related projects through the Call for Proposals process in order to best assess, connect, align, and make decisions on the proposals to maximize coordination and support from health system partners. 

Overview

Partners in Care (PiC) and Transitions in Care (TiC) initiatives focus on Family Physician and Specialist co-led projects to improve coordination of care for patients among providers (Partners in Care), and between care settings (Transitions in Care). PiC and TiC activities are most commonly focused on making improvements at the community level – with strong potential for spread regionally or provincially.
