Plain-English Summary

The proposal would extend a federal program that helps small hospitals in rural areas test new ways to operate and deliver care more efficiently. This affects rural communities and the hospitals that serve them, allowing these facilities to continue experimenting with different payment models and staffing arrangements to stay financially stable while serving patients in areas where healthcare options are limited.
