The Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program Lead will serve as the program lead for NC HIEA's efforts under the RHT project. NC HIEA has a tremendous opportunity to increase the impact of NC HealthConnex through electronic health record integration, clinical data quality improvement, NC HealthConnex system enhancement and other work for NC's implementation of the RHT Project. NC HIEA's RHT proposal was incorporated in NC's larger application with CMS approved work.

To capitalize on this opportunity, NC HIEA needs a lead and program manager to ensure that:

• NC HIEA’s RHT implementation planning is aligned with statewide RHT project planning
• vendor services needed to support NC HIEA RHT workstreams are thoughtfully negotiated and established
• technical staff with the capacity to implement NCHIEA RHT workstreams are hired
• agreements with partner agencies are in place to secure the flow of federal funds
• processes are established to ensure successful implementation

This a high priority and high visibility program that crosses multiple teams and agencies to ensure alignment and support for RHTP in the state of North Carolina.

This person will:

• Lead efforts to support eligible rural healthcare providers with:
• the onboarding of their facilities to NC HealthConnex
• targeted technical assistance
• tailored training programs
• Oversee personnel and technical vendor support dedicated to accomplishing the goals of RHT
• Work with NC DHHS, rural healthcare providers, and other RHT partners to support implementation, including development of provider and payer engagement strategies, alignment with state and federal policies, and establishment of KPIs and continuous quality improvement processes.
