Ask the Experts: Rural Hospital Resources

February 10, 2016 11:39 am

I work at a 24-bed critical access hospital in North Dakota that also has a rural health clinic, skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility, and a wellness center. I am looking for samples or templates for the following resources.

  • A finance policy and procedure manual template that I could adapt to my organization
  • A healthcare payroll specialist job description

Answer: Here are two sources:

  • The Rural Health Information Hub (formerly the Rural Assistance Center) offers an online library and tools for rural healthcare providers.
  • Internet searches using the phrases “hospital accounting policies and procedures” and “payroll specialist” resulted in access to several resources and a sample job description.
