Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Algorithmic Forms Development

Agreement Number:

1001694

Duration: from Jan 9, 2023 to Mar 31, 2024
Description:

Forms are omni-present in health care. They are used to collect detailed information about a prospective client. Then, a clinician has the time-consuming task of reviewing and interpreting the form contents. This project creates an advanced method to collect and score clinical attributes of prospective clients and adds algorithmic routing to transmit the information to the optimal health service that matches the client needs.

Network Module

Agreement Number:

981741

Duration: from Oct 4, 2021 to May 31, 2023
Description:

Challenges like coordinating a city-wide COVID response, a mental health crisis response, or supporting people with chronic diseases are the focus of insurers, funders & grant-giving agencies. What one community agency offers is not enough to solve larger health or social problems in a community. The byzantine nature of community health access processes and broken connections between organizations disrupt the continuity of care. With the rise of virtual care, agencies must work together to promote public service access.

The Caredove Network module will enable the leadership of a healthcare organization to build, promote, operate & monitor access to a trusted health service network composed of many local organizations & relevant services.

Agreement:

Interoperable Calendar

Agreement Number:

970087

Duration: from Apr 1, 2021 to Mar 31, 2022
Description:

Most Caredove users at community health organizations have scheduling tools that they use on a regular basis (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar) or Electronic Medical Record systems that contain such scheduling data. The public is usually disconnected from these systems due to integration complexity, and they are not designed to address the workflow needs of community health care organizations.

This project will give Caredove users at community health organizations the ability to safely and securely share with the public appointment information residing in common and industry specific scheduling applications.

Agreement:

Caredove Canada-Wide Search

Agreement Number:

928394

Duration: from Apr 1, 2019 to Mar 31, 2020
Description:

There are certain services that are vital to helping people remain at home and independent, that, today are very difficult for the public to access. With Caredove Canada Wide Search, the existing Caredove referral management platform, used privately by insurers and health regions, would be extended to become a more global, publically-oriented Search site.

This will expose Caredove to markets all across Canada, introducing them more rapidly to community service providers and insurers who can subscribe to premium services. Caredove would benefit from a complete redesign and rebuild of their Search function, hiring new engineering talent, seeding the platform with service listings, and interacting with and onboarding agencies across Canada.
