2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 2 - The Department of Health Title 2-C - Charles D. Cook Office of Rural Health 234 - Legislative Findings and Intent.

§  234. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds,   determines, and declares that:1. There is a necessity  to  address  different  approaches  to  rural   health  care  delivery  in  the  state. These approaches need to support   diverse community and individual needs including unique rural conditions   such  as  low  population  density,  a  large  proportion  of   elderly,   geographic isolation, inadequate transportation, absence of economies of   scale, as well as fluctuating and limited service demands.2.  It  is  often  difficult for small, rural health care providers to   obtain timely  information  on  rural  programs.    Also,  it  is  often   burdensome  for these providers to locate the resources to apply for aid   from  programs  which  exist  to  support  rural  health  care  services   delivery.3. Both private and public sectors have begun to recognize the urgency   for  programs that address the unique nature of rural health care access   and service delivery. New rural health care programs  have  been  estab-   lished,   however,   these   programs   are   administered   by  several   organizations and municipalities.  Coordination is essential to maximize   their potential impact on the rural community.4. Rural health care providers would greatly benefit if there  were  a   single   office   within  the  department  which  would  coordinate  the   administration and flow of  information  on  rural  health  programs  by   promoting  innovative  and  improved  approaches  to  rural  health care   delivery.

Integrate and coordinate selected state health care grant and loan   programs established specifically for rural health  care  providers  and   residents.  As  part  of  this  function,  the  office  shall  develop a   coordinated  application   process   for   use   by   rural   providers,   municipalities  and  others in seeking funds and/or technical assistance   on pertinent rural health care programs and services. The  office  shall   also  work  to  promote  the  usage  of the Rural Assistance Information   Network (RAIN)  to  assist  rural  providers  and  others  in  obtaining   information on funding and/or technical assistance for rural health care   programs and services.2.

2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 2 - The Department of Health Title 2-C - Charles D. Cook Office of Rural Health 236-A - Study of Health Professional Employment Incentives.

§  236-a.  Study  of health professional employment incentives. 1. The   legislature hereby finds and declares that:a. Some parts of rural New York are suffering from physician and nurse   practitioner shortages forcing residents to forego proper care or travel   long distances to receive  health  care.  Rural  areas  have  particular   characteristics    such    as   low   population   density,   inadequate   transportation, increasing elderly population, and a lack  of  economies   of  scale.  These  issues  make  recruiting and retaining physicians and   nurse practitioners in rural areas more challenging than in suburban and   urban settings.b. Therefore it is incumbent upon the state to provide incentives  and   assistance  to physicians and nurse practitioners willing to practice in   these shortage areas.2. The Charles D. Cook office of rural health,  in  consultation  with   the rural health council, is hereby authorized and directed to conduct a   study  to  analyze  incentive  options to encourage physicians and nurse   practitioners to practice in rural, underserved areas. The report  shall   contain,  but  not be limited to, evaluations of the following incentive   options: high needs service bonuses, signing bonuses, tax credits, small   business  assistance  for  beginning  practices,  programs  designed  to   recruit  high  school  students,  and  rural medical education tracks in   medical schools. The report shall contain an analysis of  current  state   level  loan  repayment programs and their effectiveness and may consider   any similar local programs. The report shall also provide information on   federal programs and their impact on New York state rural physician  and   nurse  practitioner recruitment. The study shall make recommendations as   to which incentives are the most effective in recruitment and  retention   of such health professionals.3.  The  director  of  the  Charles  D. Cook office of rural health is   hereby directed to prepare and present to the legislature, on or  before   March  first  of  the  year  next  succeeding the effective date of this   section,  a  report  containing  a   summary   of   its   findings   and   recommendations.
