There is a great disconnect between healthcare innovators and rural healthcare facilities. RHIA, through building deep trust with local teams and understanding of site-level infrastructure, helps facilitate adoption of innovations which improve patient care and drive local economic activity.
Despite seeking to make care more efficient, equitable, and effective, innovators have long under-represented rural communities and their patients in R&D and pilot programs. Through distributed pilots and data access, RHIA supports research on the poorest and sickest populations in the United States.
