Rural healthcare organizations face growing pressure from workforce shortages, reimbursement challenges, rising operating costs, shifting care delivery models, and increasing demands for access. At the same time, Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding is creating new opportunities to support innovation and long-term sustainability. The challenge for many leaders is not developing a strategy, but turning that strategy into measurable action.
Join Vizient and rural healthcare leaders for a practical discussion focused on moving from planning to execution. This webinar will explore how organizations can align transformation investments with operating priorities, establish accountability, sequence initiatives for success, and measure progress over time. Participants will gain perspectives on current transformation trends, implementation challenges, and strategies for sustaining results beyond the funding period.
Attendees will learn:
- Common barriers that delay execution of rural transformation strategies.
- How to connect funding decisions to workforce, access, financial, and operational priorities.
- Practical approaches for prioritizing initiatives and assigning accountability.
- Early indicators that transformation efforts are gaining traction or falling behind.
- Lessons learned from a rural healthcare organization working to translate strategy into implementation.
The session will feature industry insights from Kenny O’Neill, Managing Director, Kaufman Hall, and a moderated discussion with a rural healthcare leader sharing real-world implementation experiences. Jason Spring, VP, Member Networks, Vizient, will facilitate the conversation and guide participants through practical next steps they can apply within their organizations.
Whether your organization is just beginning its transformation journey or working to accelerate existing initiatives, this session will provide actionable guidance to help turn strategic intent into sustainable results that improve access, strengthen financial viability, and create lasting community impact.
Who Should Attend:
Rural hospital and health system CEOs, CFOs, COOs, strategy leaders, clinical leaders, board members, transformation leaders, and others responsible for advancing organizational sustainability and care delivery transformation.
