Starting January 1, 2026, CMS’s mandatory TEAM model will hold hospitals financially accountable for cost and quality across key surgical episodes. With real risk starting in Year 2, success requires early preparation, strong care coordination, real-time data, and systemwide engagement.

Rural healthcare faces provider shortages and limited access, but technology offers a path forward. Beyond telehealth, we need integrated digital networks that connect patients, providers, and payors for seamless, coordinated care. Tailored tech solutions can improve outcomes, reduce costs, and bring equitable healthcare to even the most remote communities.

In the U.S., access to quality healthcare often depends on where you live, leaving rural and underserved communities behind. To fix this, we need national standards, cross-sector collaboration, and accessible technologies like telehealth. Equity in care should be a right, not a privilege — and achieving it requires sustained, collective effort.

Rainfall Health uses generative AI to standardize care, streamline documentation, and reduce workflow variability in healthcare. This leads to better outcomes, improved efficiency, and more equitable access, helping transform a fragmented system into one that’s consistent and patient-centered.
