Rural Health Transformation Program: What’s the Right Contracting Strategy?

Rural communities face persistent barriers to timely, high-quality care. The Rural Health Transformation Program provides an influx of new funding to support states as they seek to transform rural health care through strengthening their workforces, leveraging technology and connecting providers. With these new dollars, however, come myriad federal requirements. As states carefully balance spending dollars, they need a strategic approach to government contracting. The contracting structures states choose may help or hinder their efforts to balance flexibility, transparency and accountability.

In this webinar, Manatt Health’s integrated team of lawyers and consultants will translate policy into practical contracting solutions and enable you to engage in the type of work to improve rural health outcomes.

Key topics include:

• Understanding key contracting types
• Determining contract types and structures for program goals
• Managing risks, compliance and subrecipient or vendor performance
• Supporting providers in meeting federal contracting requirements
