Today's
rural health care picture is unclear, a condition that will most likely continue for the
foreseeable future. Rural Health Resources can help you chart a course for your health
care service delivery through the tough times.
Focusing on the Future
Rural Health Resources works with rural departments of health, primary care physicians,
hospitals, emergency medical service providers and community groups to design new
solutions to today's rural health care delivery challenges:
- improving access to health care
- defining emerging organizational developmental
needs
- creating collaborative efforts
- establishing community and preventive health
programs
Finding Solutions That Work
for You
Among the rural health care system design issues Rural Health Resources can help you
solve:
- How do small rural hospitals/facilities/providers
deal with major operational changes forced upon them by changes in reimbursement,
government regulations, managed care, mergers, layoffs, affiliations, and interventions
seemingly designed primarily to fit urban institutions?
- How do you determine future trends in health care
delivery?
- What health care services does your community
really want?
- How will health care providers achieve and maintain
financial feasibility in the face of lost revenues?
- How can you make rural hospitals, primary care
clinics, emergency medical services and other health care services accessible in rural
environments with stagnant or declining economies?
- Can rural health networks, grants, needs
assessments really help the current situation? Do they?
- Do state and/or federal designations such as health
professional shortage areas help or hinder?

The Process
Rural Health Resources starts by examining and appraising your current organizational
infrastructure. We evaluate the management of people; their skills and knowledge; their
leadership, vision and action; and their community mobilization. We look at the operations
necessary to support the purposes of community health care delivery.
Rural Health Resources considers the methods, the information, and the networks that are
used, or could be used, to link health care providers and systems together. We help design
systems that are viable because they use uniform data standards, communications networks
and policy level agreements regarding confidentiality, division of labor, job sharing and
cross training, and reduction of redundancy.
Rural Health Resources steers you through the turbulence to
an integrated rural health infrastructure.
