Member News

MHA Endorsed Business Partner (EBP) ModusOne Health was recently featured on the Rural Health Today podcast hosted by JJ Hodshire, president and CEO, Hillsdale Hospital. The episode “Breaking Down Barriers for Rural Healthcare Providers with Dr. John Crongeyer” highlights innovative strategies for engaging clinicians and improving risk management in rural hospitals.

Rural Health Today connects listeners to what truly matters in rural healthcare through expert interviews and real-world insights. Hodshire and Dr. Crongeyer discuss how rural hospitals are overcoming documentation and engagement challenges by shifting the narrative: clinicians are not the problem—they are the solution.

“With the looming threats of Medicaid, what steps can hospitals take to redefine their mission, to identify new ways of growth, and to look at existing processes (like ModusOne) and make some types of adjustments that can be a winner,” said Hodshire.

“Many rural hospitals face an existential financial crisis,” said Dr. Crongeyer, “one that can only be solved with a financial solution.”
