CMS’s Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program is moving quickly, and hospitals that act early are better positioned to align with state priorities and secure funding.

Join our free 30-minute webinar on Thursday, May 7th, from 12 – 12:30 PM CT, where IDENTI’s experts will break down what hospital leadership teams need to assess eligibility, align priorities, and build a credible funding strategy.

The RHT Program is directing $50 billion in federal funding to support rural hospitals in key areas, including:

  • Technology modernization
  • Operational efficiency improvements
  • Sustainable rural care delivery models

Why Does it Matter Now?

  • Timelines are tight
  • States are already defining priorities and allocating budgets
  • Competition is increasing

Hospitals that understand how to position their initiatives against funding criteria, both financially and operationally, will have a clear advantage.

What You’ll Learn

This webinar will give senior hospital leaders a clear, practical understanding of:

  • How the RHT Program works, including structure, state-level priorities, and eligibility requirements
  • What it takes to build a credible, impactful proposal aligned with funding criteria
  • Where hospitals are focusing to improve operating margins, including perioperative and OR performance
  • How operating room automation can reduce revenue leakage and improve billing reconciliation
  • Where IDENTI’s solutions align with RHT funding priorities and categories
  • How to connect operational improvements to measurable outcomes required for RHT reporting and funding validation
