CMS has launched its Office of Rural Health Transformation to strengthen rural health systems and expand access to care.
Four notes for dental leaders:
1. The new office will continue to carry out the work of the Rural Health Transformation Program, a five-year federal initiative established earlier this year.
2. CMS recently awarded $50 billion across all 50 states through the program.
3. The Office of Rural Health Transformation will help guide states in implementing their rural health transformation plans, according to a Dec. 29 news release.
4. Rural health initiatives among states include expanding access to services, modernizing rural facilities and technology, strengthening the clinical workforce and implementing care delivery and payment models.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
