Abstract:
HRSA Federal Office of Rural Health Policy created a quarterly, aggregate data report to collect information on COVID-19 testing and mitigation activities conducted by small rural hospitals receiving SHIP funding. Respondents are SHIP grantees or their small rural hospitals who received funding for COVID-19 testing and mitigation related expenses. HRSA issued funding as one-time payments to 46 state offices of rural health based on the number of eligible hospitals, providing $258,376 per hospital (1540 hospitals total across the country). The organizations were identified by CMS Certification Numbers (CCN). Data report information is needed to comply with federal requirements to monitor funds distributed under the American Rescue Plan Act.
Emergency Justfication:
Approval of the SHIP COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation Reporting Portal is time-sensitive to meet federal reporting requirements as outlined in the American Rescue Plan Act legislation. Because of the urgent nature of the COVID-19 pandemic response, combined with the quick disbursement of and the short-term duration of this funding (one time disbursement on July 1, 2021), it is important for HRSA to obtain data as quickly as possible.
