Arizona Rural Quality Network Group (ARQNG)
In April 2003, four small rural hospitals in Southeastern Arizona developed and initiated
a collaboration called the Southeastern Arizona Hospital Workgroup. This workgroup has evolved to the formation of a
state-wide quality group called the Arizona Rural Quality Network Group.

Arizona Rural Hospital Flexibility Program
The Rural Medicare Hospital Flexibility Program, created by
Congress as part of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, enables the
Rural Health Office to provide technical assistance to small hospitals
willing to examine new ways of doing business, by assisting them
to obtain a new CMS designation called “critical access hospital.”
The program also enables the provision of technical assistance to
strengthen emergency medical services, quality assurance programs,
and network-building with other hospitals.
National Rural Health Resource Center
The Technical Assistance and Services Center (TASC) provides
technical assistance for the Rural Hospital Medicare Flexibility
(Flex) Program in the form of information, tools and resources.
