Purpose

The Rural Healthcare Provider Transition Project (RHPTP) provides technical assistance and training for small rural hospitals and certified Rural Health Clinics to build capacity in value-based care (VBC), with emphasis on efficiency, quality, patient experience, and safety. The program's goal is to guide small rural hospitals and Rural Health Clinics that are not currently participating in VBC to prepare for participation in a health system focused on value.

Five participants will be selected to receive focused, onsite and/or virtual technical assistance (TA) to help leaders and providers transition to value-based care (VBC) and prepare for population health management. Services include:

  • Consultations and coaching to support the implementation of best practices and adoption of recommendations for the transition to VBC strategies
  • Assessment and training in the areas of efficiency, quality, patient experience, and safety of care
  • Assessment of the organization's readiness for assuming financial risk
  • Participation in a peer-to-peer learning collaborative designed to support project implementation and sustainability
  • Access to the Health Education and Learning Program (HELP) webinar series focusing on a variety of advanced payment models and/or VBC topics
  • Recommendation Adoption Progress (RAP) follow-up calls
