Rural communities across the country face growing challenges in accessing timely, high-quality, and affordable healthcare. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program offers a historic opportunity to protect and improve healthcare for rural communities.

Guidehouse turns complex rural health policy into measurable progress in communities across America. Drawing on our deep understanding of federal regulations, state rural health strategies, and the day-to-day realities of rural providers, we design, launch, and scale initiatives that expand access, stabilize finances, and improve outcomes.

Who we help



Shared services models

 

States are using RHT funds to form shared services centers that centralize back-office functions and reduce costs. Guidehouse is working with states and state hospital associations to develop shared services centers that allow hospitals to consolidate resources for:

  • Revenue cycle management
  • HR
  • Finance
  • IT
  • Supply chain management and other operational functions

Contact us to explore shared services models that can support the needs of your state and/or hospital association.

  • States: Guidehouse works with states to build effective RHT-funded programs and manage grants processes.
  • Providers: Guidehouse helps providers make effective use of RHT funds to strengthen operations, revenue cycle, finance, and care delivery.
  • Community organizations: Guidehouse works with community organizations to identify needs and build local partnerships.
  • Federal agencies: Guidehouse supports CMS and other agencies in managing RHT programs and measuring results.

Shared services centralize functions such as revenue cycle, scheduling, compliance, technology, and analytics across rural providers. Guidehouse helps states and providers design and implement these models to reduce cost, improve performance, and expand capacity.

Guidehouse has worked with New Mexico Health Care Authority, the Tennessee Department of Health, Hugh Chatham Health, Garnet Health, and the Veterans Health Administration on projects related to rural hospital operations, revenue cycle improvement, care redesign, rural health strategy, and grants management.

RHT funding can support projects that expand rural access, strengthen workforce capacity, modernize technology, improve revenue cycle and operations, launch shared services, build partnerships, and create sustainable care models, among other uses.
