National Rural Health Resource Center Releases New Population Health Toolkit

The National Rural Health Resource Center’s recently updated Population Health Toolkit — which includes the newest population health data from a half-dozen publicly available data sets — is now available online. Developed and maintained with support from the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, the Toolkit is designed to assist State Offices of Rural Health, state Flex Programs, and individual healthcare facilities as they seek to better understand, manage, and improve population health in their communities and state. The toolkit includes a population health readiness assessment, tools and resources to support healthcare facilities as they build their population health management capabilities, a web-based dashboard that displays county, state, national and, when available, facility-level data, tutorial videos, and more.
