Broad Eligibility

For Budget Period 1, eligible lead applicant types are Virginia hospitals and health systems that are licensed or authorized to provide healthcare services in Virginia and serve qualifying rural Virginia communities. Hospitals, health systems and academic medical centers may partner with technology vendors, care-management organizations and other partners, but the eligible applicant must remain the lead applicant and fiscal recipient.

Atlas Analysis

One of Atlas' strongest current Virginia opportunities for connected rural care. The RFA is highly aligned with remote monitoring, chronic-disease management, continuous clinical oversight and technology-enabled access, but successful proposals must show the full operating model: enrollment, devices, data flow, clinical ownership, escalation, patient support, interoperability, measurable outcomes and long-term payment sustainability.

The Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association Foundation issued RFA-RHTP-RPM-1 for Virginia Rural Health Transformation’s CareIQ Remote Patient Monitoring initiative. The official RFA makes $14.3 million available among awardees for Budget Period 1, estimates two to three awards, and sets a September 15, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern application deadline.

The RFA focuses on implementing or expanding hospital-based RPM for rural patients, particularly people with chronic disease or recently discharged patients requiring close follow-up. Required activities include RPM technology and device deployment, clinical-system integration, monitoring workflows, staff training, patient enrollment, outcomes reporting, provider coordination and a sustainability plan. Applicants should use RFA-RHTP-RPM-1 and any subsequent VHHAF or DMAS amendments as the controlling submission source.
