View Award Description

Delta Region Community Health Systems Development - In the Delta Region Community Health Systems Development (DRCHSD) Program, the National Rural Health Resource Center (The Center) will leverage its experience and knowledge as the current DRCHSD technical assistance (TA) provider and its vast understanding of the Delta Region and its needs to provide multi-year TA through assessments, planning, and implementation services with rural health care organizations (HCO). This TA is accomplished in partnership with the Health Resource and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) and The Center’s developed and managed network of rural health care technical experts (RHTEs). To strengthen health care systems in the Delta Region, The Center conducts in-depth financial and operational, quality, and feasibility assessments to enhance or expand HCO services and improve operational and quality efficiencies. Action planning and implementation TA ensures HCOs achieve the program’s goals and objectives through multi-year support. To ensure lasting success, Community Engagement and Champion TA supports local communities to enhance coordination of care and to increase knowledge and perception of the HCOs services. The TA is provided for up to 10 new eligible HCOs annually, managed as a 3–4-year cohort, with up to 20% ($2,000,000) of the program’s budget allocated to support software and equipment for implementing best practices prioritized in action plans. Under The Center’s management, the DRCHSD Program consistently exceeds its purpose of strengthening health care delivery in rural areas of the Delta Region. By improving financial and operational performance as well as quality of care, the Program addresses the health care needs of and keeps services local. These achievements help stabilize HCO finances, prevent bypass, and keep organizations open to provide needed health care to their communities. The Center is the originating and incumbent TA provider for the DRCHSD Program, successfully providing services for over seven years to 68 HCOs. The Center is a leader in providing rural health TA and has over 30 years of experience serving rural communities including rural hospitals and clinics, with nearly 600 projects completed across the country and over 200 of those in the Delta Region. The Center currently manages five HRSA/FORHP TA programs and with a highly trained and experienced staff of 54, with 33 working with the DRCHSD program and 13 residing in the Delta states. Additionally, The Center has significant RHTE capacity, having established relationships with the leading financial, operational, and research experts in rural health all with extensive experience working in the Delta Region. With the commitment of four organizational RHTEs, The Center is equipped to continue managing the DRCHSD Program and providing TA to approximately 50 HCOs over the next five years. Through the DRCHSD Program, The Center will maintain collaboration and alignment of TA with HRSA/FORHP and with other federal, state, and national partners, and RHTEs to sustain implementation outcomes. This collaboration promises that high quality, responsive TA is provided to health care organizations in the Delta Region to strengthen local health care.
