RHTP Center of Excellence - Strategy & Analytics

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) is issuing an RFP to secure a vendor that will conduct comprehensive data analysis of Montana’s rural health‑care facilities and develop a strategic plan aimed at achieving long‑term financial stability for those facilities. The work will involve extracting, cleaning, and interpreting health‑care data, producing actionable insights, and delivering a detailed strategy report that can guide state and local stakeholders. • Perform quantitative and qualitative analysis of rural health‑care utilization, finances, and outcomes across the state’s “frontier” counties (population density ≤ 6 people/sq mi). • Develop a strategic framework and set of recommendations to improve financial sustainability, including cost‑reduction opportunities, revenue‑enhancement strategies, and operational efficiencies. • Deliver final reports, data visualizations, and possibly conduct an interview/product demo for state officials. • Comply with numerous prerequisite reviews (conflict‑of‑interest, insurance, FFATA, trade‑secret affidavit, etc.) and submit a lump‑sum cost proposal by the sealed‑until deadline.
