Clinical Transformation

Equitable care based on community need that improves patient outcomes

Achieve Proactive Wellness in Rural Healthcare

Innovate Your Healthcare Delivery

We help rural healthcare providers transition from reactive healthcare to proactive wellness through value-based clinical strategies tailored for rural communities. We will work with your team to assess value-based readiness, engage stakeholders in meaningful ways, and define innovative care delivery pathways.

For the Pennsylvania Rural Health Model specifically, the RHRC team has worked with eighteen hospitals to develop clinical transformation plans aimed at enhancing access to care, decreasing deaths related to substance use disorder, and improving population health. Through the implementation of these plans, supported by RHRC coaching to hospitals, 231 goals and 2,509 action steps have been completed to date.
