Abstract:

This manual describes the annual Uniform Data System (UDS) reporting requirements for all health centers that receive federal award funds (“grantees”) under the Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 254b) (“section 330”), as amended (including sections 330(e), (g), (h), and (i)), as well as Health Center Program look-alikes (“look-alikes”). Look-alikes do not receive federal funding under section 330 of the PHS Act. However, they must meet the Health Center Program requirements for designation under the program (42 U.S.C. 1395x(aa)(4)(A)(ii) and 42 U.S.C. 1396d(l)(2)(B)(ii)). Certain health centers funded under the Health Resources and Service Administration’s (HRSAs) Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) also are required to complete annual UDS reporting.

In addition to detailed instructions, certain frequently asked questions are included. The instructions highlight changes to the tables that have been implemented for the current year. The Program Assistance Letter (PAL) 2017-02 provides an overview of changes that apply to the calendar year 2017 UDS report due February 15, 2018.
