Pre-RFPPublic HealthDetected Apr 22, 2026

Sheridan Memorial Hospital’s board approved a resolution on April 22, 2026 authorizing the CEO to explore cost reimbursement and Critical Access Hospital (CAH) designation and to proceed with all necessary licensure steps. Administration has been conducting employee, medical staff, and public forums explaining that although SMH is licensed for 88 beds, its actual utilization aligns with CAH criteria and that services such as trauma and 24/7 emergency care will continue. The transition is expected to drive operational changes, including shifting transitional care services off the current hospital unit and expanding home care, discharge planning, social work, and utilization review capacity.This creates upstream planning needs for care management workflows, technology, and staffing models that vendors can support. Sellers should position solutions that help SMH manage CAH cost reporting, optimize reimbursement, redesign post-acute transitions, and support home-based and ambulatory care growth during and after the designation process.

Finance Committee supports the move, citing current model as not sustainable; forums with staff, medical staff, and public are ongoing to discuss changes.
