Is your organization ready for RHTP? A checklist for technology vendors and service partners
technology vendors and service partners are RHTP-ready when they have a fundable program tied to the right allowable-use categories, a partner relationship with the state's mechanism, a measurement plan, and a path to sustainability beyond FY2030. The most common gap is sustainability planning.
Readiness checklist
Before pursuing RHTP dollars, technology vendors and service partners should be able to answer yes to each:
- Do you have a fundable program (e.g., patient-engagement and remote-monitoring platforms)?
- Can you map it to consumer-facing, technology-driven solutions, and evidence-based prevention and chronic-disease management?
- Do you know your state's solicitation path? (Vendors engage as sub-contractors to providers or states, so visibility into each state's solicitations and partners is critical.)
- Can you measure adoption and active-use rates and related outcomes?
- Do you have a sustainability plan for after FY2030?
The gap most organizations miss
Pitching technology without an outcomes story and a rural implementation plan rarely survives state review.
Frequently asked questions
- What disqualifies technology vendors and service partners most often?
- A weak measurement story or no sustainability plan. Pitching technology without an outcomes story and a rural implementation plan rarely survives state review.
- How long does readiness take to build?
- Organizations with an existing program and data can be ready in weeks; those starting from scratch should plan for months.
