Abstract: The Health Center Program, administered by HRSA, is authorized under section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. § 254b). Health centers are community-based and patient-directed organizations that deliver affordable, accessible, quality, and cost-effective primary health care services to patients regardless of their ability to pay. Nearly 1,400 health centers operate approximately 15,500 service delivery sites that provide primary health care to more than 31 million people in every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. HRSA uses the Uniform Data System (UDS) for required annual reporting of program-specific data by Health Center Program awardees (those funded under section 330 of the PHS Act); Health Center Program look-alikes (entities meeting requirements of, but not funded under, section 330 of the PHS Act); and Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention (NEPQR) and Advanced Nursing Education (ANE) Program awardees (specifically those funded under the practice priority areas of sections 831(b) and 811 of the PHS Act). Some NEPQR and ANE Program awardees establish and expand nursing practice arrangements in noninstitutional settings to demonstrate methods to improve access to primary health care in areas with unmet primary health care needs. Such grantees implementing nursing practice arrangements have historically used the same data collection system as the Health Center Program for their required annual reporting of program-specific data.
