Note: Year 1’s obligation deadline has come and gone, and we continue to collect recipient lists — two new ones and a revised third over one weekend. RHTP Verified Intelligence turns those lists into custom call sheets.

In this issue:

  • Oklahoma sets a December 31 Year 1 deadline for OKSHINE HIE and EHR assistance and opens Year 2 January 15

  • Colorado reissues its RHTP Grantee Fact Sheet with 10 of 92 award amounts changed

  • Missouri names 25 Smart Growth and Service Line Modernization awardees, $39,400,820.55

Oklahoma sets a December 31 Year 1 deadline for OKSHINE HIE and EHR assistance and opens Year 2 January 15

When OHCA flipped the EHR Expansion application to Apply Now in early October, no close date was posted. The OKSHINE RHTP page now carries one, plus a second window:

Year 1 Application Deadline: December 31, 2026 Year 2 Application Period: January 15, 2027 - May 31, 2027

The “Resources – Coming Soon!” placeholder is gone. In its place: an RHTP Initiatives overview and a copy of the application questions.

Prospective applicants may review the application questions in advance to better understand the information requested for HIE and/or EHR assistance. Please note: This document is provided for reference purposes only and is not intended for application submission. All applications must be completed and submitted through the online application.

The vendor side of this program, the EHR Expansion RFI with MyHealth Access Network, still takes responses through December 1. Questions go to OKSHINE@okhca.org.

Colorado reissues its RHTP Grantee Fact Sheet with 10 of 92 award amounts changed

HCPF posted a Grantee Fact Sheet dated 10.30.2026. Same 92 grantees as the awardee list we covered September 29. The total is now $170,563,909, up $353,334.

I diffed it line by line against the September 29 page, and ten amounts were affected.

A companion Provider Types fact sheet went up the same day, footered 9.24.2026. It puts the same 92 grantees at $211,192,370, with hospitals at 41 grantees and 57.2% of dollars.

The department also dropped its applicant technical info, including the Colorado Rural Health Center contract and the CRHC_RHTP@coruralhealth.org intake address. The November 23 Advisory Committee and November 24 Stakeholder Engagement meetings stayed.
