Description:
This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP). This program supports eligible hospitals in meeting value-based payment and care goals for their respective organizations, through purchases of hardware, software and training. SHIP also enables small rural hospitals:
- to become or join accountable care organizations (ACOs);
- to participate in shared savings programs; and
- to purchase health information technology (hardware and software), equipment, and/or training to comply with quality improvement activities, such as advancing patient care information, promoting inter-operability, and payment bundling.
Eligible applicants:
The State Offices of Rural Health will be the official award recipient acting as fiscal intermediary for all hospitals within its state. Eligible applicants include states that are currently SHIP recipients, as well as states with hospitals that meet eligibility requirements yet have not been previously funded. SHIP funds assist eligible small rural hospitals that are essential access points for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Eligible small rural hospitals are non-federal, short-term general acute care facilities that are located in a rural area of the U.S. and the territories, including faith-based hospitals.
