The RUPRI Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis at the University of Iowa will complete projects within this topic of concentration: The effects of payment and other policies on health care organizations and health plans in rural places. The Center will continue to use the framework of the continuum of care when assessing how essential services are sustained locally and linked to services across the entire continuum, whether those services are local, regional, or national. Additionally, the framework developed by the RUPRI Rural Health Panel ("Pursuing High Performance in Rural Health Care"), will guide analysis of the impact of public policies on achieving a more desirable future for rural health services.
