CMS didn’t design RHT to fund technology. It designed RHT to fund operating change. RHT dollars are meant to support rural systems that can: • Redesign access points • Rebalance workforce capacity • Coordinate care beyond the hospital walls • Demonstrate measurable, repeatable outcomes That’s why many rural organizations struggle: Because transformation requires clinical execution, operational ownership, and compliance discipline at the same time. Through Psynergy®’s partnership with Andor Health, rural systems gain a single execution model that aligns virtual care, clinician capacity, and CMS-ready reporting under one structure. RHT rewards systems that can run differently, not just buy differently. If your RHT strategy depends on more pilots, it may be time to rethink execution. #CMSRHT #RuralHealthLeadership #Psynergy
