Analytics and Innovations Program

What We Do

The Analytics and Innovations (AI) Team at the Office of Rural Health (ORH) strives to assist ORH programs and grantees with using data and leveraging technologies in ways that help improve monitoring, evaluation efforts, and innovative strategies. In addition, the AI team

  • provides technical assistance for communities and Safety Net providers seeking to improve access and quality of care for vulnerable populations through integrated systems of care and innovative and strategic planning.
  • leverages resources and funding through State, federal agencies, and private foundations to support community health initiatives and demonstration projects that benefit the uninsured, Medicaid recipients, and other vulnerable populations.
  • works with federal, state and local entities to identify shortage areas of primary care, dental or behavioral health care providers. These areas are designated as health professional shortage areas (HPSA) according to federal guidelines, making them eligible to qualify for federal funding and services.
