Grant Overview
Tennessee research on integrated cancer care coordination examines communication pathways among the state’s four major health systems and 12 critical access hospitals. Hospital discharge data indicate 31 percent of cancer patients experience at least one care transition between facilities located more than 50 miles apart.
Demographic composition shows 78 percent of residents in the western and central grand divisions, with Appalachian counties in the east recording higher proportions of residents over age 65. Workforce statistics list 3.4 oncologists per 100,000 residents statewide, with concentrations in Davidson and Shelby counties.
Grant-funded projects must generate empirical measures of care coordination quality using validated instruments applied at baseline and 12 months. Protocols require linkage of Medicare claims to Tennessee Cancer Registry records while maintaining compliance with state data-sharing statutes.
Eligibility criteria include demonstration that the applicant institution possesses current agreements with at least two Tennessee health systems for electronic health record access. Budgets limit personnel costs to investigators and data analysts; capital expenditures for new care-coordination platforms fall outside allowable direct costs.
Tennessee applications receive distinct scoring emphasis on inclusion of rural hospital partners and explicit mapping of patient travel distance, features that differentiate review from submissions focused on Kentucky or Alabama health systems.
