Service Description
|
Critical Access Hospital (CAH) network development provides federal funding to small rural hospitals and requires hospitals to collaborate to make the best use of limited health care dollars. Hospitals in the network agree to reduce the number of acute beds (for patients who need a high level of care) to 25 or fewer while ensuring emergency services are available.
The Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant Program (Flex Grant Program) focuses on small and rural hospitals, including CAHs, to improve their viability, quality, and integration with the rest of the health care system. Specifically, the Flex Grant Program is focused on: (1) improving quality of care in CAHs and other rural care providers, (2) improving the financial and operational performance of CAHs, and (3) encouraging health system development through the engagement of the rural community with CAHs and other care providers, and (4) integrating rural Emergency Medical Services (EMS) into the health care system while ensuring the quality of services provided.
