Stroudwater Associates Launches the Rural Health Clinic Dashboard to Strengthen RHC Performance

PORTLAND, Maine - Oct. 30, 2025 - PRLog -- Stroudwater Associates, the nation's leading source for operational, financial, and clinical & quality strategy for rural and community healthcare,  announced today the launch of the Rural Health Clinic (RHC) Dashboard, an interactive analytics platform designed to help RHCs assess key performance metrics, identify opportunities for improvement, and support long-term sustainability.

With decades of experience advising rural providers and state partners, Stroudwater created the RHC Dashboard to deliver actionable insights through data-driven benchmarking and three years of comparative trend data across all independent and provider-based RHCs nationwide.

"Rural health clinics play a critical role in ensuring access to care for millions of Americans, yet many lack access to meaningful, comparative performance data," said Jeff Sommer, MPP, Managing Director of Stroudwater Associates. "The RHC Dashboard empowers clinics to identify areas for improvement, align with best practices, and make informed decisions to enhance both financial and operational performance."

The RHC Dashboard is complemented by Stroudwater's RHC Cost Report Review, a hands-on consulting process that provides in-depth analysis of cost report accuracy, compliance, and opportunities for improvement. Together, these tools help RHCs identify hidden inefficiencies, optimize reimbursement, and improve care delivery in their communities.

"By integrating decades of financial, operational, and regulatory expertise into one accessible dashboard, we're equipping clinic leaders with the information they need to sustain healthcare in their communities," said Amy Graham, MBA, CRHCP, Principal, Stroudwater Associates.

In addition to individual clinic benchmarking, the RHC Dashboard allows states to evaluate performance relative to state and national medians. With three years of trend data, users can:
- Assess key financial and operational metrics
- Identify areas for targeted technical assistance
- Inform training and resource allocation to strengthen healthcare delivery statewide

Supported by Stroudwater's expert consulting services, the dashboard equips rural health leaders with the data-driven insights necessary to inform policy decisions and enhance financial and operational sustainability.

The RHC Dashboard is available to RHCs, hospitals, state offices of rural health, hospital associations and health systems nationwide.
