Nevada “Flex” Program
The mission of the Nevada Rural Hospital Flexibility Program (Nevada Flex Program) is to increase access to quality inpatient services, clinic and outpatient services, skilled nursing and long-term care services, and pre-hospital/EMS services for residents of rural and frontier Nevada.
The vision of the Nevada Flex Program is to increase access to health care services for all residents of rural and frontier Nevada by improving the economic viability of health care providers and expanding the continuum of health services through the provision of technical assistance and support to rural and frontier hospitals and communities in Nevada.
During fiscal year 2013, the Nevada Flex Program is undertaking proven and innovative activities to support:
- Rural hospital quality improvement
- Rural hospital financial, operational, and performance improvement
- Rural health care systems development and community engagement
Current program activities extend best practices and technical assistance developed by the Nevada Flex Program and program partners over the past decade. Current activities also extend performance and quality improvement projects supported through the Nevada Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP). Through Flex funding, Nevada has been able to establish an effective, statewide technical and financial assistance center for small rural hospitals.
