The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) released their report, “Reinventing Rural Health Care: A Case Study of Seven Upper Midwest States.” The study took place in 2017 and interviewed more than 90 leaders in rural health in Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. The BPC believes local, state, federal policymakers, as well as healthcare leaders, must work together in order to accomplish rural healthcare innovation. The report details observations from the case study and identifies four suggestions:
1. Rightsizing Health Care Services to Fit Community Needs
2. Creating Rural Funding Mechanisms
3. Building and Supporting the Primary Care Physician Workforce
4. Expanding Telemedicine Services
