Project Information
Components of the Project
The Flex Monitoring project has three main components. The first component, "State Performance Management," uses a Program Logic Model approach to track state program activities and develop tools that allow states to systematically monitor their accomplishments in the context of Flex Program goals. The second component, "Institutional Performance," uses secondary and primary data to assess the impact of the Flex Program on hospital financial status and quality of care, and to develop benchmarks for financial performance and quality improvement for small rural hospitals. The third component, "Community Impact," assesses the Flex Program impact at the community level, including the local availability and accessibility of health services, and the value of community partnerships developed with health care organizations.
