- Description
- The Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS/HRSA), intend to contract to establish a Rural Health Clinic Technical Assistance Series. The Rural Health Clinic Technical Assistance Series will focus on providing Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) with at least six national technical assistance conference calls each year. The conference calls will provide RHCs with technical assistance and disseminate comprehensive, provider-related information regarding issues including, but not limited to, billing, quality improvement, best practices and disease management. The Series Contractor will be responsible for coordinating the conference calls, identifying pertinent topics, lining-up appropriate speakers, developing technical assistance materials related to the calls and notifying the RHC community about each call. The Series Contractor will also serve as a point of contact for RHCs in need of assistance with changes in regulations enacted by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA), including the updated definition of a qualified rural shortage area for designation as a Medicare RHC, Medicare reimbursement, and establishment of a Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Program. The Series Contractor will serve as an easily accessible and effective resource to meet the needs of the RHCs and will provide high quality, responsive and integrated services to RHCs who have exhausted the available resources of their existing State Primary Care Office (PCO) or State Office of Rural Health (SORH.) The Series Contractor may develop, in consultation with leading researchers and policy experts in the field, a variety of manuals and technical assistance materials targeted to help RHCs with ongoing regulatory changes.
