Missouri Rural Health Transformation
Helping Missouri Turn Rural Health Investment Into Action
Missouri’s Rural Health Transformation Program creates an opportunity to strengthen rural healthcare delivery across the state. As implementation moves forward, healthcare organizations need practical information, a clear understanding of the resources already available and a path for preparing for what comes next.
Velatura is bringing together educational resources, expert guidance and targeted support to help Missouri healthcare organizations navigate their technology implementation and build the Digital Backbone RHTP requires.
For Missouri
A Resource for Missouri’s Rural Health Community
Whether you are a designated Hub Anchor, rural healthcare provider, community partner or organization supporting rural health in Missouri, these resources are designed to help you better understand RHTP and prepare for implementation.
A central piece of that work is Missouri's Digital Backbone — a $56 million RHTP initiative to connect rural healthcare providers and community services through secure, shared data systems. Velatura can help your organization navigate that technology implementation.
Learn
Understand RHTP and the technology, data and infrastructure concepts that will shape implementation.
Prepare
Consider what your organization already has, where gaps may exist and what capabilities may be needed as implementation moves forward.
Connect
Join Velatura and other Missouri stakeholders for conversations about the practical questions facing organizations across the state.

Missouri Experience
Already Part of Missouri’s Health Information Infrastructure
Velatura has a long history of serving Missouri. We already work alongside healthcare organizations across the state to support secure health information exchange, interoperability and care coordination.
That existing infrastructure and experience provide an important starting point as Missouri considers how new rural health investments can strengthen — rather than duplicate — capabilities already in place.
Updates
Stay Informed
Missouri’s RHTP work will continue to evolve. We will update this resource center with new learning materials, implementation guidance, events and other information as it becomes available.
