CMS Innovation Center Reimagines Rural Health Care Approaches

Today, CMS published "Re-imagining Rural Health: Themes, Concepts, and Next Steps from the CMS Innovation Center “Hackathon” Series" [ https://www.cms.gov/files/document/reimagining-rural-health-strategy.pdf ]. The report describes lessons learned from previous Innovation Center models focused on rural health and their application to recent model development, as well as potential areas the Innovation Center might explore to support rural communities. It also highlights themes and insights from the CMS Innovation Center-hosted 2024 Rural Health Hackathon [ https://www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/2024-rural-health-hackathon ]. The Hackathon series convened rural health providers, community organizations, industry and tech entrepreneurs, philanthropies, policy experts, and patients to generate creative and actionable solutions to address the varied challenges to delivering quality health care in rural communities. The top thematic areas highlighted a need for training, regulatory changes, and collaboration to help improve access to care and support transformation. The paper also outlines possible considerations for future Accountable Care Organization-focused and other models.

As a next step, CMS intends to issue a Request for Application to fill the ten open spaces for the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration. The demonstration was directed by Congress and requires a test of cost-based payment for Medicare inpatient services for rural hospitals with fewer than 51 beds that are ineligible for Critical Access Hospital status. The demonstration has been operated by CMS since 2004 and is scheduled to end on June 30, 2028.

The Innovation Center is committed to advancing rural health and looks forward to further utilizing input from the Hackathon and robust engagement with rural health groups to design models and innovations to enable greater participation by rural providers and address challenges facing rural, Tribal, frontier, and geographically isolated areas.
