Strengthening Community-Based Care and Support
IHI helps rural communities connect people with essential non-clinical services that improve health outcomes and reduce avoidable use of high-cost care.
Working with health systems, community organizations, and social service providers, IHI supports:
- Housing transition and navigation services that promote stable living
- Medically tailored meals and support for nutrition-sensitive conditions
- Asthma remediation that reduces environmental triggers in the home
- Coordinated care that closes gaps in chronic disease management
IHI also helps communities strengthen coordination across healthcare, public health, and social services—building local capability and supporting long-term sustainability.

Strengthening Rural Health Systems and Communities
Helping rural health systems improve quality, strengthen operations, and build sustainable improvement capability in resource-constrained environments. For leaders and teams working in these environments, the challenges compound — shrinking workforces, growing patient needs, and systems under strain.
IHI helps to turn these pressures into actionable, durable progress by applying practical, proven expertise that helps organizations achieve meaningful results at every level.
The results are documented: high-leverage initiatives, proven return on investment, and measurable gains in clinical and operational performance.
Through tailored consulting support, we help organizations strengthen care delivery, improve performance and outcomes, and build the internal capability needed to sustain improvement over time.
Advancing Healthcare in Rural and Underserved Communities
Tailored improvement support helping rural and underserved communities strengthen care delivery, workforce capability, and long-term system sustainability. Every rural context is different — shaped by geography, population, resource level, and system structure. IHI tailors consulting and improvement support to fit each organization's specific context.
To address geographic constraints, IHI supports the effective use of virtual care, telehealth, and mobile health models, extending improvement capability beyond traditional clinical settings to remote areas and communities where quality care is often difficult to access.
Through globally recognized initiatives that address prevention and treatment of chronic disease, maternal-newborn care, Age-Friendly Health Systems, patient safety, quality improvement, and health equity, IHI collaborates with rural healthcare professionals and community-based organizations through education, action communities, practical training, and certification programs that advance workforce development and career pathways.
Priority areas for IHI's rural health consulting work additionally include:
- Maternal and infant health, including postpartum depression
- Age-friendly healthcare and population health improvement
- Chronic disease management and cardiometabolic health
- Behavioral health and substance use disorder care
- Workforce development, safety, and well-being
- Improvement science, patient safety, and health equity
- Social and structural drivers of health
How We Work with Rural Communities
Partnering with health systems, governments, public health agencies, and community organizations to strengthen care delivery and improve outcomes across rural and underserved populations.
IHI works alongside rural communities and health systems to design practical, scalable improvement strategies that strengthen care delivery, reduce fragmentation, and build sustainable local capability.
Spanning 30 countries, IHI partners with governments, NGOs, hospitals, FQHCs, CHCs, managed care plans, and community organizations to co-design high-impact initiatives that improve quality, equity, and sustainability across rural and underserved populations worldwide.
IHI develops tools, training, and improvement infrastructure that align healthcare, public health, and social services — reducing fragmentation and improving continuity of care for people who need it most.
Working with Medicaid agencies, public health departments, and community organizations, IHI addresses clinical and social drivers of health, accelerates innovation capacity, and closes persistent gaps in care for underserved populations.
IHI equips clinical and administrative leaders and their teams with the skills, tools, and improvement frameworks needed to drive sustainable change from within continuously.
