From planning to implementation: Early lessons in rural health transformation

By Dennis Worsham, JW Randolph, Antraneise Jackson, and John Auerbach

States are moving quickly to put Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding to work, but the path from planning to implementation looks different in every state. With first-year funding now in motion, states are moving at different speeds, and those further along have practical lessons that can help others move faster.

Watch on-demand video for state health leaders from Washington, Tennessee, and Florida as they share innovative efforts to strengthen rural health systems. They'll lead a conversation about what's working, what's changed, and what other states can learn from their experience so far.

We'll discuss:

What early implementation looks like in practice: key decisions, progress, and lessons from the first year. 
How states are aligning partnerships and funding to support sustainable, long-term change. 
Considerations and approaches other states can apply to their own rural health transformation planning.
