Required next actionPre-position a rural Connecticut project now, but do not submit against a closed round. Map the project to one or more approved RHTP priorities — population health, workforce, data and technology, or care transformation and stability — document the rural population and baseline access gap, define measurable outcomes and sustainability, identify clinical and community partners, and monitor the Connecticut DSS RHTP page plus Connecticut procurement channels for the next controlling notice. For technology-enabled concepts, plan for interoperability, care coordination and measurable clinical impact rather than a stand-alone technology purchase.
