Abstract:
This article examines the development and operation of rural health networks in the United States based on data collected from telephone surveys of rural health networks containing at least one rural hospital in the United States in 1996 and four years later in 2000. The implications of network development for health care managers participating in, or considering participation in, a rural health network are discussed.
