Dear Flex Program Coordinators
Happy Fall! I hope you are all experiencing some cooler weather and colorful leaves. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the fantastic work you are doing to support your rural hospitals during this critical time. As hospitals continue to experience high volumes, please keep us informed about what your rural communities are experiencing related to the public health emergency.
Earlier this month, FORHP hosted a webinar with TASC regarding the Flex Fiscal Year 2020 Wrap Up. We discussed the following reports and provided detailed instructions. Please reach out to your Flex Project Officer for any questions on these reports.

We are excited about the Flex Quality Innovation Lab kick-off meeting held earlier this month. Your topic-specific QIL meetings will begin in October. Please look out for the corresponding communication from RQITA. Your first task is to work with your state to make appropriate updates to your state project plan. These would include:
- Reviewing the "Model for Improvement Three Questions" with the audience of the final poster presentation in mind.
- Capturing any updates to high-level work plan and data tracking
- Redacting any hospital names tied to performance data as necessary
States are being asked to post updated plans to the QIL library under Quality Innovation Labs (located on the top menu bar of the QIL Hub SharePoint site) by noon on Friday, October 1.
Thanks for all that you do,
Tori
