Transportation sits at the intersection of your most crucial patient flow processes, but it's often a blind spot with complicated ownership and marginal transparency.

Join Roundtrip's Lindsay Tamchin, CRO, every Wednesday in August at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT for a free 4-part webinar series on turning transportation into a resource that accelerates patient flow:

🚑 Part One (8/5): Transportation's Impact on Patient Flow
📈 Part Two (8/12): The Transportation Maturity Model
🤝 Part Three (8/19): Who Should Own Transportation?
📊 Part Four (8/26): Using Transportation Data to Measure Impact

Each session is just 20 minutes, with practical advice and real-world examples you can put to use right away.

State Departments of Health are deciding how Rural Health Transformation Program dollars get allocated right now. For EMS agencies, this is less about winning funding and more about becoming a resource the state can build with as these programs take shape.

A few things worth knowing if you're starting that conversation now:

📊 Bring outcomes, not just requests. States are weighing tradeoffs across chronic disease management, workforce development, and care delivery. An agency that arrives with clear data (response times, treatment-in-place rates, etc.) gives the state something concrete to work with. A request with no evidence behind it is easy to set aside.
📝 Map your work to what the state has already committed to. Minnesota built its RHTP application around a Treatment in Place (TIP) model its agencies had already adopted, rather than introducing something new. That let the state lean on existing data sources for reporting, and let agencies fold into a program built around work they were already doing. Checking your state's stated RHTP priorities before proposing anything ensures you’re aligned with its goals.
🚑 Watch how dispatch and coordination are shifting. Hawai’i is consolidating EMS dispatch under its Department of Health, a project that aims to reconcile county-run systems, fire department partnerships, and state contractors across different islands. EMS agencies tracking that kind of restructuring early can be prepared to adapt.
✅ Register early. Most states require agencies to be properly registered in their procurement systems before they can apply for or accept funding. It's a small administrative step, but missing it can stall a proposal that's otherwise ready to be approved.

Most states are still distributing RHTP funds through open grant programs. Find the person managing that process at your Department of Health, and put a proposal in front of them before the next round closes.

Did you know rural patients travel 2-3 times farther to reach care than patients in urban areas? Unlike their urban counterparts who can lean on public transit or shorter drive times, rural patients often have far fewer backup options when their usual way to get to care falls through.

The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding is aimed at closing that gap, and EMS agencies that can show valuable data on how their transportation work impacts patient access are the ones best positioned to benefit as states decide where those dollars go.

Here's where transportation fits into that plan and how your EMS agency can position itself for funding 👇

How the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) Is Redefining Emergency Care Delivery - Roundtrip The Rural Health Transformation Program is reshaping emergency care. Learn how EMS agencies can position transportation strategy to secure RHTP funding.

Roundtrip is excited to sponsor the inaugural Hospital Capacity Management Consortium (HCMC) Leadership Forum this weekend in Denver! Capacity management is a critical element of health system operations and with the continued development of command and transfer centers across the US, it’s more exciting than ever to hear how patient flow leaders are innovating and optimizing their workflows and processes.

Transportation - how it’s scheduled, how it’s billed, who is taking the ride, when they show up - has a lasting downstream impact on any health system’s bed flow. Yet a cohesive system-wide transportation strategy remains one of the top missed capacity opportunities.

Stop by our table during the event to talk to Lindsay Tamchin and Olivia Glyptis about one of our favorite topics: how implementing a strong transportation strategy can have a powerful impact on patient throughput and bed management.

Here's to the next generation of healthcare transportation superstars! Safe to say the future is looking pretty bright (and pretty adorable).

Is your EMS agency ready for the impacts of the Rural Health Transformation Program?

With $50 billion in federal funding headed towards expanding rural and community-based healthcare across the US, state leaders need a partner who understands emergency care on the ground. Smart EMS leaders are acting now to shape programming and better position themselves to receive funding.

We broke down everything your EMS agencies need to know about RHTP, from how states are using their funding to the steps you can take to help shape what's next 👇
