Evolution of Rural Health Networks
Provider and policy maker interest in rural health network development is increasing with substantial support from federal and state governments and private foundations. This project is a follow-up to a previous national study of rural health networks completed in 1996. We will track the development of networks identified in 1996 and networks created since that time and assess the key factors that affect network survival. New issues included in a phone survey of network directors are: Medicare risk contracting arrangements; reporting of network performance to members; analysis of specific network programs; and information and management systems development.
