flag Black Book Research released guides to help rural clinics use $147M–$281M in federal funds for healthcare transformation, stressing vendor fit and rural-specific needs.

flag Black Book Research has released two new reports to help rural healthcare providers implement the federal Rural Health Transformation Program, which awarded states $147.3 million to $281.3 million in FY 2026. flag The reports offer practical tools for executing transformation plans, including a 90-day action agenda, governance frameworks, and standardized vendor evaluation scorecards. flag Survey data from 205 rural providers shows most IT, clinical, and financial staff believe vendors market urban-based solutions as "rural-ready," causing workflow misalignment and unplanned costs. flag Only 29% feel vendors address rural-specific issues, and just 22% say vendor input is incorporated in product development. flag The guides aim to improve procurement, compliance, and outcomes in areas like telehealth, cybersecurity, and workforce retention, with complimentary access available online. flag TruBridge and Juno Health are highlighted as top EHR vendors for rural settings.
