Making Rural Care Work
A Playbook for State-Led Transformation
Rural healthcare is on the cusp of major change. Despite expanded telehealth and growing digital investment, outcomes have not kept pace. Fragmented programs, workforce shortages, outdated infrastructure, and disconnected data systems continue to limit progress, leaving rural communities with access but not coordinated, sustainable care.
In this white paper, discover how the CMS Rural Health Transformation (RHT) model reframes rural reform around enablement rather than risk transfer, and how states can build connected ecosystems that unify access, workforce, technology, and delivery into one orchestrated system of care.
What You'll Learn Inside
- Why digital expansion alone has not improved rural outcomes, and where current models fall short.
- The five strategic priorities (The Rural Five) that unlock scalable, sustainable transformation.
- How a connected digital foundation links telehealth, care management, and population health into one coordinated infrastructure.
- Real-world use cases showing how orchestration reduces hospitalizations, strengthens the rural workforce, and improves care continuity.
- How states can operationalize RHT through a phased roadmap that builds capacity, modernizes infrastructure, and turns access into measurable outcomes.
