Rural Health Transformation Program

Connected data for rural health, built into your RHTP plan

Interoperability, data exchange, and EHR modernization are funding priorities under RHTP. Intely helps rural hospitals, clinics, and lead applicants scope that work, fund it, and deliver it — without building every interface themselves.

Where RHTP dollars meet integration work

State RHTP plans call out the same gaps rural providers have lived with for years: systems that don't talk to each other, aging EHRs, and data stuck in the wrong place. That's the work we do every day.

Interoperability and data exchange across EHRs, labs, HIEs, and state networks.
EHR modernization, including data migration and interface development — listed as allowable costs in state programs like California's.
Connected, AI-ready clinical data that regional and network-wide programs can actually use.
How RHTP partnering works

You lead the application. We help you scope it.

RHTP funds generally flow to providers, nonprofits, and associations, with technology vendors joining as partners. The earlier integration work is written into your plan, the easier it is to budget and deliver.

We'll help you define the scope, timeline, and cost of the data work so it holds up in your application.

Start with a free RHTP interoperability assessment

A short, no-cost review of your systems and data needs, so you know what to include in your plan before you write it.

1 Map your systems. EHRs, labs, pharmacy, imaging, and the external networks you share data with.
2 Find the gaps. Where data stalls, where it's re-keyed, and what's blocking modernization.
3 Scope the work. A practical plan with timeline and cost you can bring into your RHTP application.
