Creating sustainable programs that increase access to care and improve outcomes

Rural Health Transformation presents an opportunity to improve healthcare in rural communities
- The Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program is a $50 billion federal initiative from CMS to strengthen rural healthcare through sustainable access, workforce development, innovative care models and technology adoption.
- 1 in 5 people in the U.S. live in rural areas. Several factors may put rural residents at higher risk of death than people who live in urban areas [1].
- Philips solutions, such as telehealth, remote patient monitoring (RPM) and diagnostic imaging, enable rural health providers to overcome geographic barriers and extend care beyond traditional settings.
