FLEX MONITORING

The Flex Monitoring Team is a consortium of researchers from the Universities of Minnesota, North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and Southern Maine, funded by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to evaluate the impact of the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant Program (the Flex Program). The Flex Monitoring Team also operates and maintains the Critical Access Hospital Measurement and Performance Assessment System (CAHMPAS) for easy access to financial, quality, and community measures... We provide comprehensive information on the financial condition of Critical Access Hospitals, with the goal of improving hospital financial performance.
