University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics is proud to be at the hub of a consortium of ten Iowa non-profit hospitals; a network designed to meet and exceed State Critical Access Hospital regulations and to enhance access and provision of quality health care services in rural communities.
Critical Access Hospital networks enhance the financial and quality of care for member hospitals through efficient resource pooling and collaborative clinical and staffing practices. Networked hospitals:
- Provide support in meeting the basic requirements and regulations of CMS
- Develop forums for data collection and the development of benchmarks and best practices
- Potentially share clinical and support staff resources to ensure access to needed care in rural areas
Together we provide:
- Continuity of care via transfer or referral, if needed, to an acute/tertiary care facility
- Appropriate and timely communications
- Credentialing
- Quality assurance
- Development of best practices through education and training opportunities
