Building a Safety Net for Rural Care
Rural Health Transformation
Build a Connected Care Hub to connect rural communities in your state to credentialed healthcare providers via secure solutions trusted by the VA and DOD.
We welcome the opportunity to walk your team through our end-to-end solution for connected care and AI across healthcare organizations in your state.
A Strategy for Rural Health Enablement
Our vision is to ensure rural hospitals not only survive but thrive by extending the reach of scarce clinical resources through secure, reliable connected care models. Our capabilities support many of the priorities of the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), as outlined below.
We’ll work with your state stakeholders to develop digital health infrastructure that offsets staffing, patient attrition, and access challenges plaguing rural care facilities today, and sets the stage for sustainable care moving forward.

Supporting RHTP Goals
Make Rural America Healthy Again: Caregility virtual nursing, tele-specialist, and remote monitoring improve chronic disease, maternal, and behavioral health outcomes, and enable specialty consults (neuro, psych, cardiology, nephrology, infectious disease).
Sustainable Access: A State-based connected care hub from Caregility reduces costs and keeps hospitals viable. Automation reduces sitter and documentation costs and prevents avoidable admissions, preserving capacity. Providing tele-obstetric consults, remote prenatal monitoring, and behavioral health integration improves maternal health and prenatal outcomes.
Workforce Development: Caregility enables virtual workflows for rural healthcare that reduce burnout, extend careers for experienced nurses, and offload tasks, improving clinician satisfaction. By reducing bedside burden and allowing seasoned clinicians to practice remotely, nurses can work at the top of their license, while rural hospitals can retain staff who might otherwise leave.
Innovative Care: Caregility’s hybrid workflows align with American Nurses Association (ANA) principles and value-based care, creating flexible, efficient care models. Prevention-first care aligns with value-based models, and ambient monitoring reduces clinician workload.
Tech Innovation: Caregility’s secure, compliant infrastructure integrates telehealth and AI, giving high reliability and availability regardless of rural broadband constraints. Secure, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure integrates telehealth, remote monitoring, and consumer portals statewide. Computer vision and IoT extend advanced technology with edge computing embedded for predictive AI.
Caregility covers these 10 approved uses of funds:
1. Evidence-based diabetes/stroke protocols. AI-powered prevention tools. Predictive chronic/preventive risk detection.
2. Reimbursable virtual visits and telehealth encounters.
3. Portals and monitoring tools. Smart-room patient engagement.
4. Training for telehealth/AI adoption.
5. Workforce retention via virtual nursing models. Automation improves retention.
6. ISO/SOC2/HIPAA-certified infrastructure.
7. Shared hubs optimize service lines.
8. Virtual behavioral health expansion. Analytics guide service allocation. AI monitoring supports behavioral health/SUD.
9. Supports value-based care contracts. Virtual opioid/SUD monitoring. Prevention-first models fit value-based care.
10. Scalable with automation to sustain access. Future-ready innovation sustains rural access.
