This supplement allows the University of Iowa to build on past and ongoing projects supported by HRSA to support health care in rural areas by advancing the knowledge base regarding the unique considerations and barriers facing rural providers implementing value-based care and innovative payment models. The University of Iowa is the recipient of the only award under the RHIT-TA program and has established relationships with rural stakeholders and has longstanding experience developing resources related to rural value-based care. The supplement to the RHIT-TA Cooperative Agreement will allow the University of Iowa to provide additional technical assistance and develop  additional resources to promote rural value-based care related activities.
