Data Analytics

Data Analytics is the act of extracting and organizing raw data in order to identify patterns and make inferences. The goal is to turn health data into information (Informatica). Analytics are often needed for quality improvement projects as well as reporting to Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) and other regulatory bodies. Federally Qualified Health Centers are required to report annually to HRSA clinical and operational data called the Uniform Data System (UDS).

Uniform Data System Modernization Initiative (UDS+)

UDS+ is the electronic submission of de-identified patient-level data from health centers to HRSA through automated reporting platforms. The goal of UDS+ is to eventually eliminate the need for health centers to dedicate resources required to manually enter UDS data into the EHBs, while simultaneously allowing health centers to submit more granular, specific data about their patient population. Through UDS+, health centers will submit de-identified patient-level data instead of aggregated data for existing patient-oriented tables.

Review HRSA's UDS Modernization Initiative page to learn more.

How Can Your Centers Keep Up to Date?

Reach out to your Electronic Health Record (EHR) or Population Health Management Tool to see where they are with UDS+ and participate in cohort submissions, if available.
