DRCHSD Finance Series: Quantifying the Rural Value Proposition to Existing Prospective Partners

DRCHSD Finance Series: Quantifying the Rural Value Proposition to Existing and Prospective Partners

Session Description: As the payment system evolves from Fee-for-Service to value/population-based payment, rural health systems have an increasing value proposition in the healthcare market.  However, rural hospitals and health systems are often misunderstood by larger health systems.  This misunderstanding has led to the undervaluation, both historically and likely in the future, of rural health systems.  This presentation highlights important value drivers of rural health systems, and how they can be show-cased to the benefit these rural systems and their communities.   

Time: Thursday, July 14th from 11:00 – 12:00 pm CST

Speaker: Eric Shell, CPA, MBA and Jeff Sommer, MPP - Stroudwater Associates 

Learning Objectives:

• Ensure that rural hospitals and health systems understand the unique attributes and value that they bring to existing and prospective system partners
• Outline the fundamental value drivers for rural provider organizations that existing and prospective partners should understand to create win-win, sustainable partnerships and affiliations
• Provide a framework to help rural hospitals and health systems engage with existing and prospective system partners so appropriate resources and investments in rural communities are realized
• Define the processes and structures that will best optimize the rural value proposition
