National Performance Review Measures

Several HRSA programs have developed standard performance measures and reporting requirements for their grantees. A subset of these national measures will be examined during performance reviews to assess national program and individual grantee performance/ impact, identify performance trends, and inform national program policy and guidance development.

I. Health Center Program – (H80/93.224)

  • In 2008, the BPHC established a set of performance measures for all Health Center grantees. Performance reviews of all Health Center grantees will include three mandatory performance measures from the national set:

    • Access Performance Review Measure: Number of Patients
    • Financial Performance Review Measure: Select at least one of the five national financial measures
    • Clinical Performance Review Measure: Select at least one of the six national clinical measures

  • Additional measures may be selected for inclusion in the performance review and should come from the grant application. Detailed information on each national performance measure is available at the BPHC’s Health Care and Business Plan Performance Measures web page.

II. Ryan White Part C Early Intervention Services - (H76/93.918)

  • Performance Review Measure: Number of Unduplicated Clients.
    Data Source: CADR Section 2, Question 24 (for 2002, 2003, and 2004) or Question 23 (for 2005), Total.
    Rationale for Selection: The number of persons provided services through CARE Act program was selected as a measure of the program goals to eliminate barriers to care and related services for individuals infected with HIV/AIDS by increasing availability of and access to care and services.
  • Performance Review Measure: Clinical Measure.
    Data Source: Depends on the grantee and the measure selected. Possible sources include CADR, CAREWare, HIVQual, EMR/EHR, and Chart Audits.
    Rationale for Selection: Clinical measures assess the quality and impact of services provided to HIV positive patients. From a set of standardized measures of health outcomes and clinical quality (set of HIV/AIDS clinical measures), performance review teams in collaboration with Ryan White Part C and Part D grantees will select one or more clinical measures to be reviewed as part of the performance review. This set of cross-cutting measures addresses aspects of care in several areas including access, opportunistic infections, co-morbidities, vaccination, HIV therapy, wellness/prevention, and case management and are based in the Public Health Service Guidelines, as required under the Ryan White Program. In addition, these measures are aligned with national quality standards and benchmarks for ambulatory care programs.

III. Ryan White Part D Services for Women, Infants, Children & Youth - (H12/93.153)

  • Performance Review Measure: Clinical Measure
    Data Source: Depends on the grantee and the measure selected. Possible sources include CADR, CAREWare, HIVQual, EMR/EHR, and Chart Audits.
