One of the first steps in the transition to value-based reimbursement models is often related to quality reporting and the ability to demonstrate quality, efficiency, and strong patient experience.  Despite the challenges, many rural communities are stepping up to the opportunities of delivery system reform. Although considered voluntary by CMS, nearly 90% of CAHs nationwide participate in public reporting of at least some quality metrics. 100% of Kansas CAHs participate in public reporting of quality metrics.
