Rural Health Transformation (RHT)

Engineering Sustainable Rural Health Outcomes

A Blueprint for Measurable Success and Systemic Improvement for Every State

Rural healthcare systems face complex, interconnected challenges that require more than incremental change. Synensys, LLC delivers engineered, data-driven solutions to transform rural care delivery: helping states, health systems, and regional partners achieve measurable improvements in safety, quality, access, and outcomes.

The CMS Rural Health Transformation Program represents a pivotal opportunity to redesign rural care through innovative, scalable, and outcome-focused approaches. Synensys supports this mission by combining systems engineering, human-centered design, human factors, and advanced analytics to improve health outcomes for rural communities nationwide.

Our Approach

Systems-Based Transformation

Synensys applies a human-centered, systems engineering approach to Rural Health Transformation ensuring that people, processes, technology, and data are aligned for sustainable impact.

Integrated Rural Care Delivery Model

Synensys works alongside technology partners to enable modern, distributed care delivery models that extend beyond traditional facility-based healthcare. Synensys ensures distributed care models and workflows are:

  • Safe and reliable through systems engineering and hazard analysis
  • Efficient and scalable across rural networks
  • Fully aligned to CMS RHT program requirements

Our Approach

Systems-Based Transformation

A data-driven, human-centered, and technology-enabled approach to strengthen rural health systems and improve outcomes.

We deliver customized, comprehensive, and actionable needs assessments that go beyond traditional approaches by integrating:

  • Clinical, behavioral health, and social determinants data
  • Medicaid, EHR, laboratory, and public health data sources
  • Community-driven insights through interviews, surveys, and workshops
  • Cross-system analysis to identify risks, gaps, and opportunities

This approach ensures that rural communities are not only represented—but meaningfully shape solutions.

We use proven analytical methodologies, including:

  • System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) – A proactive hazard analysis method that identifies unsafe system interactions, workflow breakdowns, and control gaps before they lead to patient safety, access, quality, or operational failures.
  • Causal Analysis based on Systems Theory (CAST) – A retrospective accident and incident analysis method that examines how system design, decision-making, controls, and organizational factors contributed to an adverse outcome, helping identify corrective actions that prevent recurrence.

These methods enable us to:

  • Identify potential losses due to disparities and inefficiencies
  • Detect hidden system risks and operational barriers
  • Inform targeted interventions with measurable impact

Synensys enables a fully integrated digital ecosystem across rural healthcare systems.

Partner Integration – RHT Pathways:

  • RHT Pathways solutions utilize secure, cloud-hosted platforms, private APIs, and HIPAA/HITECH-compliant infrastructure.” Remove all references to specific cloud providers.
  • All data exchanges are protected through authentication, encryption, and HIPAA/HITECH-aligned architecture
  • Platforms support interoperability standards such as FHIR® and DICOM® for cross-system data exchange

Synensys Role:

  • Integrates data across systems and partners to support full interoperability
    Enables analytics, dashboards, and performance monitoring
    Ensures technology supports safe, effective, and optimized workflows

Synensys provides ongoing analytics and performance tracking through:
