Delta Rural Hospital Performance Improvement (RHPI) Project
Partnership Committee (2007-2008)
The purpose of the project partnership committee is to offer direction on the hospital performance project, assist marketing to hospitals that may be reluctant to participate, coordinate project efforts with other rural resources, and help the project examine its impact with rural hospitals. The partnership committee meets quarterly, by conference call, and includes representatives from each of the eight Delta states, representatives from the Delta Regional Authority and the American Hospital Association.
