A shift to performance-integrated grants management
The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) requires a new approach
When basic compliance isn’t enough
RHTP operates through a stage-gate funding model, where continued funding depends on meeting specific performance milestones. In order to avoid delayed or even reduced funding, grants management must be expanded beyond just ensuring compliance to playing a role in effective program implementation. This becomes even more important for states managing large RHTP portfolios that require coordination across a variety of funding categories, agencies, and delivery partners.
In this paper, we discuss how incorporating effective controls to monitor and manage program performance can help protect funding and lead to more successful outcomes.

A better approach to rural health
Despite decades of government assistance, rural communities continue to face healthcare challenges. These range from a lack of providers and infrastructure to difficulties like inadequate transportation options and healthcare coverage limitations. We propose a new way to think about rural health that prioritizes agency coordination and community representation to meet local needs. In this article, we discuss this new approach and how it can improve outcomes.
