This webinar provides hospitals and health systems with a practical overview of compliance and reporting requirements for participating in the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), with a focus on operating as a subrecipient of a federal grant. It will cover key uniform guidance areas such as allowable costs, procurement, internal controls, record retention, and audit readiness, along with single audit requirements for hospitals meeting federal expenditure thresholds. Presenters will also outline RHTP-specific conditions, including spending caps, approval thresholds, reporting expectations, and limits on certain expenses like replacement electronic medical record systems, helping participants understand both the rules and how to build sustainable compliance processes that reduce the risk of fund recoupment.

Key Takeaways: 

Manage financial and programmatic reporting obligations to reduce compliance risk and support ongoing funding. 

Understand the core federal and RHTP-specific compliance requirements that apply to participating hospitals. 

Develop infrastructure, policies, and internal controls to support grant management and audit readiness.
