Resiliency Fund Usage

The Fund will provide up to $500,000 to cover expenses directly and indirectly attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as investments to support organizations as they prepare to serve their communities going forward. Uses include incurred and anticipated costs associated with PPE, staff (re)hiring and training, facilities redesign, new EHR platforms, expanded technology, and reorganized delivery models (e.g., tele-psychiatry). Uses of the Fund can also be used to cover temporary cashflow shortfalls associated with these events. For loan inquiries, please contact William O’Brien.

In addition, PCDC also offers technical assistance to improve operational efficiencies in a post-COVID environment. Areas of TA include improving telehealth operations, billing and coding, care integration models that include telemedicine, creating a safe environment for patients and staff, and triaging patients for engagement.
