Rural Health Research Centers

 

The Rural Health Research Center and Telehealth Focused Rural Health Research Center programs are designed to increase the amount of publically available, high quality, impartial, policy-relevant research to assist decision makers at the federal, state and local levels to better understand the challenges faced by rural communities and providers. The research conducted by these research centers provides information that will improve access to health care and population health. The Rapid Response Rural Data Analysis and Issue Specific Rural Research Studies awardee assists rural communities with conducting rapid data analyses and short-term research studies to understand the impact of current and proposed policies and regulations as well as to provide information that will improve access to health care and population health in rural America. Due to the nature of rural policy analysis and formulation, rural organizations and health care providers often require timely information that is available only through specialized analysis of databases of information compiled by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS), and other federal and state agencies or provider organizations. Most rural groups and individuals do not have the capacity to store the data sets, the staff expertise to refine and analyze the data, nor the technology necessary to run statistical analyses. Findings from these analyses are used to help inform rural health care providers and stakeholders that set policies impacting rural communities. The Rural Health Research Dissemination Program awardee disseminates and markets policy-oriented information for use by diverse audiences, such as rural stakeholders at national, state, and community levels and policy decision-makers, to inform and raise awareness of issues regarding policy implications, access, quality and status of health care delivery, services, and management on behalf of rural communities. The information includes the body of research funded by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) and is designed to help decision-makers and policy analysts concerned with a variety of rural health issues at national, state, and community levels better understand the problems rural communities face in assuring access to health care and promoting good health for their members. The Rural Policy Analysis Program, another research-related program within FORHP, supports research and analysis of key policy issues affecting rural communities to inform rural policy makers. Funded projects focus on the changing rural environment and (1) facilitate public dialogue on key rural policy issues by tracking emerging rural health and human services policy issues; (2) identify opportunities for integrating health and human services in rural policy, program, and evaluation in a local community context; (3) identify opportunities to demonstrate broad community impact of policies and programs in rural health and human services, consistent with policy goals related to rural revitalization and sustainability of rural regions; and (4) provide analysis of policies and regulations in the form of policy briefs, reports, webinars, and oral presentations. The purpose of the Rural Health Value Program (formally called the Rural Health Systems Analysis and Technical Assistance Program) is to inform rural health care providers and stakeholders (such as HHS, Congress, states, and for-profit and nonprofit entities that set policies affecting rural health care providers) about the impacts of changes in the health care delivery system. In addition, to provide technical assistance to rural providers in identifying new approaches to health care delivery in their communities. The Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program Evaluation Cooperative Agreement and Information Services to Rural Hospital Flexibility Program, awardees provide technical assistance, support, monitoring and evaluation to the State Rural Hospital Flexibility Program awardees and Critical Access Hospitals. The Information Services to Rural Hospital Flexibility Program provides technical assistance, support, and education to the Rural Hospital Flexibility Program, the Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program, and the Small Rural Hospital Transitions Program. The goal of the program is to provide support and resources to assist in building capacity for rural providers. The purpose of the National Rural Health Best Practices and Community Development Program is to develop and maintain projects that will help support rural communities through a broad range of programmatic and policy activities. These include the following: identifying national policy issues and promising practices for rural health care providers, translating key points from emerging policy issues to rural health care providers, researchers and policymakers; providing a forum for rural medical educators and students to share lessons learned to address recruitment and retention challenges, and expanding public awareness of the importance of the economic impact of the health care sector. The State Rural Health Coordination and Development Cooperative Agreement (SRHCD-CA) enhances the rural health infrastructure in each state by providing guidance and technical assistance to state Offices of Rural Health (SORHs) as well as their partners and to identify and promote best practices. The goals of the SRHCD-CA are 1) to assist in the coordination of health care delivery through the development of state level rural health leadership; and 2) to facilitate partnerships and collaboration at the national and state levels to improve the exchange of information and engage in collaborative activities for supporting rural health. The Rural Quality Improvement Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement provides technical assistance to Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) awardees, Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), and other rural providers, to assist them in demonstrating improved quality improvement results. Assistance will be provided in the areas of: data collection and analysis, understanding measure specifications, benchmarking and target setting, developing and implementing efficient and effective improvement strategies, and tracking the outcomes of quality improvement efforts. The Frontier Community Health Integration Program (FCHIP) Technical Assistance, Tracking, and Analysis program provides technical assistance, site implementation assistance, and other tracking and analytic activities to support providers participating in the FCHIP Demonstration. Activities are in support of identifying potential new approaches to health care delivery, reimbursement, and coordination in sparsely populated areas. The Rural Health Clinic Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement provides technical assistance to rural health clinics (RHCs) and disseminates information regarding RHC issues such as Medicare survey and certification, billing and payment, quality improvement, best practices, disease management, and applicable regulatory issues. The program provides technical assistance calls or webinars, and an electronic mailing list (listserv) for RHC staff that serves as a resource for RHCs needing assistance to understand and comply with applicable regulations. The Rural Residency Technical Assistance and Development Cooperative Agreement establishes a rural residency planning and development technical assistance center to assist HRSA Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) program awardees creating new existing allopathic medicine rural residency programs associated with specialties in primary care, internal medicine, and psychiatry. Subsequent to the availability of resources, the secondary purpose of the cooperative agreement is to provide technical assistance to other entities that a) would have been eligible for the RRPD program, and b) are not selected for RRPD program awards. The RRPD program and this cooperative agreement are complementary and will expand the number of rural residency training programs and subsequently increase the number of physicians who choose to practice in rural areas. The purpose of the Vulnerable Rural Hospitals Assistance Program is to provide targeted in-depth assistance to vulnerable rural hospitals within communities struggling to maintain health care services. The goal is for residents in rural communities to continue to have access to essential health services. The Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) Program, develops new residency programs to support expansion of the physician workforce in rural areas that are sustainable through public or private funding beyond the RRPD funding. The funds will support planning and development costs accrued while achieving program accreditation through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The purpose of the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Evaluation cooperative agreement is to evaluate the impact of RCORP initiatives, which currently include RCORP-Planning, RCORP-Implementation, and RCORP-Technical Assistance (TA) activities. The evaluation activities include data collection and analyses of RCORP activities, as well as developing valuable RCORP-based evaluation tools and resources for use in rural communities and to inform future rural health initiatives. The purpose of the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program- Rural Centers of Excellence on Substance Use Disorder is to support the identification, translation, dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based programs and best practices related to the treatment for and prevention of substance use disorders (SUD) within rural communities, with a focus on the current opioid crisis and developing methods to address future SUD epidemics. The program outlines three Focus Areas, to each be addressed by one RCORP-RCOE recipient. Focus Area 1 emphasizes innovative and effective treatment interventions for SUD, particularly OUD, in rural communities; Focus Area 2 emphasizes recovery housing programs for SUD intervention in rural communities; and Focus Area 3 emphasizes the burden of overdose mortality related to the misuse of synthetic opioids in rural communities in the Delta and/or Appalachian regions. The Rural Healthcare Provider Transition Project provides on-site technical assistance to small rural hospitals and clinics. The assistance provided through this cooperative agreement will help recipients of technical assistance consider factors that would make them logical participants in health care systems that focus on value.
