Abstract: The purpose of the Rural
Health Network Development Planning
(Network Planning) program is to assist
in the development of an integrated
health care network, specifically for
entities that do not have a history of
formal collaborative efforts. Health care
networks can be an effective approach
to help smaller rural health care
providers and health care service
organizations align resources, achieve
economies of scale and efficiency, and
address challenges more effectively as a
group than as single providers. The
Network Planning program promotes
the planning and development of
healthcare networks to: (1) Achieve
efficiencies; (2) expand access to,
coordinate, and improve the quality of
essential health care services; and (3)
Number of
respondents

Number of
responses per

strengthen the rural health care system
as a whole.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Performance measures for
the Network Planning program serve the
purpose of quantifying awardee-level
data that conveys the successes and
challenges associated with the grant
award. These measures and aggregate
data substantiate and inform the
objectives of the program. The approved
measures encompass the following
principal topic areas: network
infrastructure, network collaboration,
sustainability, and network assessment.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
for these measures are Network
Planning award recipients.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
