Network Development Webinars

Undoubtedly, networks are feeling the pressures of health care transformation. They are doing much work with minimal staff, while trying to remain a stable force in their communities. Unsurprisingly, this pattern can lead to both physical and emotional challenges, compromised work quality, and employee turnover.

Financial forecasting begins with thinking through how to deliver the product or service that your customers may want. Rural Health Innovations (RHI) has developed a tool, Product and Service Canvas, that helps generate thinking for this development.

Last month, all of the Network Development grantees were asked to complete our annual Network Sustainability Assessment. In this webinar, we'll take a look at the results and explore what they tell us about how we are doing as a cohort, aiming for sustainability. We will also check out TA resources, share lessons learned and provide input on TA topics for the upcoming year.

Learn to effectively communicate and market to your network members to ensure your partners work together for mutual gain. This webinar will help you understand your members and identify segments to target with messages about new programs.

Rural health network leaders discussed the role of networks in a changing health care environment during a September 2017 summit. Their findings, including six common roles networks should play to support network members in the transition to population health are presented in this webinar.

This presentation walks through a strategic planning toolkit to support rural health networks in developing an effective and dynamic strategic plan.

RHI is the technical assistance provider for the 2017 cohort of Rural Health Network Development grantees. In this introductory webinar, the Network TA Team shares its approach and strategies, describes TA methods and opportunities and presents upcoming TA events. 

This webinar explores how current Network Development grantees may move forward after the three-year grant period comes to a close. The presentation features representatives of three networks who share insights about their networks' origins, growth and current sustainability, offering key learnings for other network leaders based on their experiences.

This webinar shares information on the process of developing a sustainability plan for a rural health network by drawing on elements developed through prior planning sessions. The accompanying Sustainability Planning Toolkit supports rural health network leaders in identifying opportunities for improving network sustainability and in writing action plans to address specific business areas.

This webinar and the accompanying toolkit provide guidance for rural health networks to develop an effective strategic plan and to create a participative strategic planning event. The toolkit provides a suggested format and layout, a guide with sample documents and a sample planning presentation outline.
