About Delta RHPI
The Delta Rural Hospital Performance Improvement (RHPI) Project is a part of the federal government's initiative for rural health and was first implemented in 2001 to assist hospitals in the Delta Region to:
- Improve financial, quality and operational performance through comprehensive performance improvement assessments and consultations
- Help build state and regional capacity by providing ongoing assistance to rural hospitals throughout the Delta Region
- To collect and display tools and information that focus on improving performance
The Delta RHPI Project is funded through the Office of Rural Health Policy, HRSA. Mountain States Group of Boise, Idaho, is the contracting agency partnering with the Rural Health Resource Center of Duluth, Minnesota.
