Flex Program Logic Models

The overall logic model created by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) displays the Flex Program theory of change at three levels. The purpose of the Flex Program is to improve the health of rural people by supporting performance improvement in critical access hospitals, rural emergency medical service agencies, and rural health systems of care. System-level performance improvement includes facilitating networking and regional organization of rural health services. 

The Flex Program Area Logic Models were created by FORHP to provide guidance on the major program areas of Quality Improvement, Financial & Operational Improvement, Population Health Improvement, and Rural Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Improvement. Please use these logic models to design the activities and potential evaluative measures within each program area.

These logic models are a systematic and visual presentation of the relationships among Flex resources, activities, and the desired results. 

These logic models will be used as a communication tool to clarify program strategy and build common understanding by all Flex stakeholders about the relationship between Flex actions and the outcomes and impacts being sought.
