Platform Overview
One Platform. Three Tiers. Your Data, Your Way.
RHT Compass integrates 15 federal data sources from CMS, CDC, HRSA, USDA, and other agencies with optional first-party hospital data to give hospital leaders, state agencies, and health districts a unified operational view. Currently covering 6,663 hospitals, 3,142 counties, and ~14,000 FQHCs across all 50 states.
Three Tiers of Intelligence
Each tier builds on the one before it. Start with free public data. Add analytics when you need to act on it. Integrate your own data when you're ready for a unified view.

How It Works
Data Architecture
Public data flows in automatically. First-party data is connected through VisionWrights. Both feed the same platform.
From First Visit to Unified View
The Customer Journey

Scaled to deployment scopeOperate
Ongoing platform access with support, training, and data quality monitoring.
Ongoing support* Pricing depends on scope -- a single hospital AHEAD readiness assessment starts at $10K (often grant-fundable through HRSA Flex). State or district implementations are priced separately. Contact VisionWrights for a scoped proposal.
Implementation Partner
VisionWrights: The Services Partner
RHT Compass is the product. VisionWrights is the team that implements it.
The platform exists because hospital data problems are universal -- fragmented systems, manual reporting, no single source of truth -- but every hospital's specific systems, workflows, and constraints are different. VisionWrights bridges that gap.
When a hospital or state agency is ready to move beyond public data, VisionWrights runs the assessment, builds the integrations, configures the dashboards, and trains the team. Then the platform runs. No ongoing consulting dependency required -- teams reduce to quarterly check-ins within 12 months.
- 600+ engagements across industries. Healthcare is a proven application of battle-tested methodology.
- Walk-away value at every phase. No lock-in, no proprietary dependencies. If you stop after Phase 1, you keep a documented action plan.
- Grant-fundable entry point. Hospital assessments are eligible for HRSA Flex Program Area 2 funding through State Offices of Rural Health.
- Virtual delivery. 60-70% of engagements are entirely remote. No hardware to install, no on-site teams needed for most work.
