Rural Health Network Development 

Program 

OMB No.: 0906–xxxx–NEW. 

Abstract: This program is authorized 

under Section 330A(f) of the Public 

Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended 

(42 U.S.C. 254c(f). This authority 

authorizes the Federal Office of Rural 

Health Policy (FORHP) to support grants 

for eligible entities to promote, through 

planning and implementation, the 

development of integrated health care 

networks that have combined the 

functions of the entities participating in 

the networks in order to: (i) Achieve 

efficiencies; (ii) expand access to, 

coordinate, and improve the quality of 

essential health care services; and (iii) 

strengthen the rural health care system 

as a whole. 

The Rural Health Network 

Development Program is designed to 

assist rural health care providers 

acclimate to the evolving health care 

environment by addressing relevant 

topics to the health care environment as 

identified by the rural community. The 

program also enables rural health 

networks to continue to be a focus of 

innovation in maximizing limited rural 

health resources in times of economic 

hardship and decreased access to health 

care services that can be modeled in 

other communities, both rural and 

urban. 

This is a 3-year competitive program 

for mature networks composed of at 

least three members that are separate, 

existing health care provider entities. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: For this program, 

performance measures were drafted to 

provide data to the program and to 

enable HRSA to provide aggregate 

program data. These measures cover the 

principal topic areas of interest to the 

Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, 

including: (a) Network infrastructure; 

(b) network collaboration; (c) 

sustainability; and (d) network 

assessment. Several measures will be 

used for this program.
