Have you secured federal telehealth funding through RHTP?
The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) is a $50 billion federal initiative aimed at expanding care in rural communities. States have already received sizable funds for 2026, but each health system must apply through their state's program.
Funding is time-bound and tied to performance metrics, so strong execution and staffing initiatives are key to ongoing support. RHTP prioritizes increased access to services via telehealth and innovative care models.

Building resilient neurology care with telemonitoring and AI
What telehealth-powered neurology care looks like
Telehealth is reshaping neurology care by expanding access in regions hit hardest by neurologist shortages. Teleneurology supports digital exams, remote monitoring and virtual followups, improving management of conditions like stroke, MS, epilepsy, and Parkinson's.
With telemonitoring and strategically applied AI platforms, healthcare systems can build more sustainable neurology models that enhance provider efficiency and continuity of care. This blog post offers clear insight into how hybrid and remote workflows can strengthen neurology services for both patients and clinicians.
Stabilizing a Level I Trauma Center in 60 Days
Teleradiology achieves rapid results
A recent success story showcases how a Level I trauma and comprehensive stroke center regained stability after losing most of its radiology department. With LocumTenens.com's support, the facility built a fully remote, neuro-capable teleradiology program in just 60 days - restoring 24/7 coverage, clearing a 2,000 study backlog and protecting critical service lines.
This success story demonstrates how the right partner can deliver agile staffing, robust technology integration and specialized clinical talent to maintain continuity of care during high-risk transitions.
Telehealth and expanded care access
Telehealth continues to demonstrate its value as a critical access tool for patients, especially those in underserved areas facing provider shortages. A recent review shows that telehealth delivers care outcomes comparable to in-person visits across a wide range of conditions, while also improving convenience, reducing time burdens and supporting stronger patient engagement.
Despite a long history of regulatory friction, evidence proves that virtual care not only expands access but enhances overall quality of care when implemented strategically.
