What
is the UDS?
A core set of information
appropriate for reviewing the operation
and performance of health centers.
Data Collected
UDS tracks a variety of information,
including patient demographics,
services provided, staffing, clinical
indicators, utilization rates, costs,
and revenues. UDS data are collected
at the grantee, state, and national
levels.
Grantees Required to Report
The UDS is a reporting requirement
for grantees of the following HRSA
primary care programs:
- Community Health Center
- Migrant Health Center
- Health Care for the Homeless
- Public Housing Primary Care
Use of Data
The data are reviewed to ensure
compliance with legislative and
regulatory requirements, improve
health center performance and operations,
and report overall program accomplishments..
The data help to identify trends
over time, enabling HRSA to establish
or expand targeted programs and
identify effective services and
interventions to improve the health
of underserved communities and vulnerable
populations. UDS data are compared
with national data to look at differences
between the U.S. population at large
and those individuals and families
who rely on the health care safety
net for primary care. UDS data also
inform Health Center Program grantees,
partners, and communities about
Health Centers and their patients.
