The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) is now accepting proposals for the state‘s Rural Health Center of Excellence (CoE) initiative, with two distinct procurement opportunities available. The first seeks proposals to establish the CoE, while the second targets implementation support for facilities that adopt CoE recommendations. Organizations can find procurement details online. The CoE will provide county- and facility-level recommendations to help rural providers achieve financial sustainability through data-driven strategies, with voluntary performance payments available to facilities that achieve measurable improvements in care quality and access.
