The Bureau of Primary Health
Care is pleased to announce the
latest in an ongoing series of training
sessions on th Uniform Data System
(UDS). This training program is
being offered to State and Regional
primary care associations who wish
to partner with the Bureau in hosting
these sessions.
UDS training will be provided by
BPHC's UDS contractor, John Snow
Inc. This year, because of the implementation
of both the new web-based submissions
and the new clinical measures, additional
time is being provided; the
UDS will be due on Tuesday, March
3rd, 2009. Training will also be
delayed somewhat, and will be scheduled
during the periods October 19th
through December 19th, 2008 and
January 5th through February 20th,
2009. Training sessions
start in the morning, often requiring
some participants to travel to the
central training point the day before
the training.
The first day of the Training
Conference will be a full day session:
Preparing the 2008 UDS Report.
It addresses each of the tables
with an emphasis on the changes
that have been made to many of the
tables. This will include a review
of the new clinical measures tables
(Table 6B and 7) but in less depth
than was provided this summer. (A
complete list of changes will be
provided to use as a part of your
announcements of the training.)
Training will focus on definitions
of data elements, locating and reporting
these elements, and common errors
and problems to be avoided. Preparing
the 2008 UDS Report is aimed at
those who are responsible for gathering
and reporting the data elements
included in the UDS report, as well
as for management staff who need
to understand the definitions and
concepts used. Training on the first
day should start at a time between
9:00 and 10:00 and be over between
3:00 and 4:00.
On the second day we will
present a modified version of the
successful advanced training module:
Using the UDS as a Management
Tool. On this day we will also
provide a live demonstration of
the Bureaus new UDS software which
is being integrated into the Electronic
Handbook for the first time. This
session will include roughly one
hour on the new software changes.
The remaining 2.5 hour Using the
UDS as a Management Tool presentation
is a detailed review of the UDS
Feedback Reports. It includes both
an interactive lecture with supportive
materials and a small group exercise
to permit the participants to try
out the tools being described. Using
the UDS as a Management Tool is
useful to those submitting the reports,
and is especially useful to senior
management and decision making staff
of the center. Training on the second
day will start at 9:00 and be over
by 1:00PM.
As in the past, BPHC will cover
all costs associated with providing
the presenter for the training sessions
and provide necessary training materials
to the PCA. The PCA partner
in the training will be responsible
for:
- Sending an announcement to
all BPHC funded agencies in their
state and, where appropriate,
neighboring states. BPHC and JSI
can provide a mailing list of
current grantees (not including
any new-starts!) if requested.
Prospective grantees, consultants
and others may be invited at the
PCAs discretion. BPHC and JSI
will also provide an agenda and
limited camera ready copy for
creating announcements.
- Reproducing handouts for the
session, amounting to as many
as 200 pages per participant.
Camera ready copy will be provided
by JSI.
- Identifying, contracting with,
and paying for a training venue
to include lunch on the first
day unless suitable restaurant
resources are readily available
nearby. Because participants from
out of town who attend both days
of the training will need lodging,
the PCA will be asked to also
negotiate a block of rooms for
those who will be staying overnight.
- Providing technical support.
The PCA will be asked to have
an LCD projector to display Power-Point
and other computer based information
available at the site. The trainers
will have their own computers
for the presentation, though a
back-up computer would be a good
idea in case something goes wrong.
This is the same as we have always
required. In addition, the PCA
will be asked to ensure that the
trainer will be able to connect
to the internet through either
a hard wire connection or a wireless
connection in the room where the
presentation is being made on
the second day.
- Establishing and collecting
an optional fee for the training
program. The fee is intended to
cover all PCA costs.
- Establishing a process to register
all participants.
- Staffing the training session
on the days of the training.
Primary Care Associations which
would like to co-host a 2008-2009
UDS Training Conference should
provide the information requested
by September 12th: Submit
Information.
- We will attempt to honor all
requests received by this date,
but there is a limit and requests
will generally be honored on a
first come first served basis.
Commitments to specific dates
will similarly be made on a first-come,
first-served basis, however multiple
trainers should make it possible
to accommodate most requested
dates. As in the past, we will
work to maximize the geographic
accessibility of training opportunities
by holding the training sessions
all around the nation. Once selected,
co-hosts will work with JSI to
set dates. Once a schedule has
been developed, it will be posted
on the BPHC Web site and updated
periodically.
