The annual Flex Program Reverse Site Visit (RSV) is supported by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) and coordinated by the Technical Assistance and Services Center (TASC), a program of the National Rural Health Resource Center (The Center). The focus of the Flex RSV is to provide state Flex Programs with topical learning environments that emphasize collaboration, best practices, and shared experiences. Participants are encouraged to engage with the content and each other to broaden their impact on both Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) and the Flex Programs.
As part of the Flex Program Notice of Award (NOA) each state is required to send one state Flex employee to the Flex RSV, and a maximum of two state Flex employees may attend. Additional attendees must receive approval from their Flex Program Project Officer, and contractors must be invited by a participating state Flex Program and receive prior approval from the state's Project Officer.
By attending the Flex Program Reverse Site Visit, participants will be able to:
- Understand and apply the future direction of the Flex Program
- Identify opportunities to implement promising practices and lessons learned by CAHs and state Flex Programs, particularly related to performance improvement
- Strengthen the leadership of state Flex Programs
There is no fee to participate in the Flex RSV. Lodging and travel costs are covered by state Flex Program funding. For more information, please reach out to the TASC team.
