under Section 330A(f) of the Public

heart failure (CHF), and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This authority permits the Federal
Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP)
to support grants for eligible entities to
promote, through planning and
implementation, the development of
integrated health care networks that
have combined the functions of the
entities participating in the networks in
order to: (i) Achieve efficiencies; (ii)
expand access to, coordinate, and
improve the quality of essential health
care services; and (iii) strengthen the
rural health care system as a whole.

of interest to the Federal Office of Rural
Health Policy including: (a) Access to
care; (b) population demographics; (c)

domains. Several measures will be used
for this program. All measures will
speak to FORHP’s progress toward
meeting the goals set.
