NACDS is offering optional, one-on-one, state-specific support sessions to assist chain members with their Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) efforts. Sessions are available every Wednesday, with four 30-minute time slots focused on state-level RHTP pharmacy engagement opportunities.
Interested chain members may schedule a session.
The state announced new Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding opportunities to strengthen the rural healthcare workforce and expand health information connectivity. The Department of Labor is accepting applications for the Pathways to Health Careers and Rural Incentives for Strengthening Employment in Healthcare (RISE) programs, which support healthcare workforce training, recruitment and retention in rural communities.
Also in Maryland, the Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP) launched the Rural Health Connectivity Program, offering first-come, first-served funding to help eligible rural providers offset electronic health record (EHR) connectivity costs.
