Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility
Grant Program Performance Measure
Determination (OMB No. 0915-xxxx) Ø
New
Abstract: The purpose of the Medicare
Rural Hospital Flexibility Program
(Flex), authorized by Section 4201 of the
Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA),
Public Law 105–33, and reauthorized by
Section 121 of the Medicare
Improvements for Patients and
Providers Act of 2008, Public Law
110¥275, is to support improvements
in the quality of health care provided in
communities served by Critical Access
Hospitals (CAHs); to support efforts to
improve the financial and operational
performance of the CAHs; and to
support communities in developing
collaborative regional and local delivery
systems. Additionally the Flex program
assists in the conversion of qualified
small rural hospitals to CAH status. The
provision and delivery of quality health
care to rural America is a priority of the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS). The Flex program
provides funding for states to support
technical assistance activities in
hospitals related to: improving health
care quality, patient safety, hospital
financial and operational efficiency, and
care coordination; and ensuring
adequate training and support within
rural Emergency Medical Services
systems. Measures and goals identified
in the Flex program take into
consideration existing measures and
priorities HHS has set for hospitals to
avoid both conflict and duplication of
efforts.
For this program, performance
measures were drafted to provide data
useful to the Flex program and to enable
HRSA to provide aggregate program data
required by Congress under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Public Law 103–
62). These measures cover principal
topic areas of interest to the Office of
Rural Health Policy, including: (a)
Quality reporting; (b) quality
improvement interventions; (c) financial
and operational improvement
initiatives; and (d) multi-hospital
