Evaluation of the Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (RMOMS) Program
Client: Federal Office of Rural health Policy, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
Mission Analytics Group is working with HRSA’s Office of Rural Health Policy to evaluate the Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (RMOMS) Program. Our team began our evaluation of the first cohort of awardees starting in 2019 and our work was extended to a second cohort of awardees starting in 2021 and to a third cohort of awardees in 2022. In total, we currently assess the RMOMS Program among 10 awardees.
This multi-year project will:
Document the implementation of the RMOMS program and the alignment with the programs goals, identify best practices and innovations among awardees, and examine factors that help explain effective implementation of the program;
Assess how many women and infants were served by the RMOMS program, examine to what extent services were delivered, and examine factors that help explain the volume and types of services used
Assess the RMOMS program’s impact on the program goals and objectives over time and examine factors associated with improved various patient outcomes; and
Collect and analyze primary and secondary data, provide training and assistance to the awardees on data collection and reporting, and present findings in annual reports.
On this project, Mission is partnering with Insight Policy Research and Summit Consulting, LLC.
