2011 Uniform Data System Training
The RI Health Center Association and the Community Health Center Association of Connecticut, in partnership with the Bureau of Primary Health Care, is pleased to present a one day Uniform Data System training on November 9th at the Providence Marriott Downtown located on One Orms Street in Providence, RI.
Training Details
Training Description
The Uniform Data System (UDS) training is a full day program covering the preparation of the 2011 UDS Report. The training addresses each of the tables, including a discussion of the changes that have been made and the definitions necessary to complete the reports. Because additional clinical measures have been added and because problems with reporting these tables persist, tables 6B and 7 will be covered in greater detail. Please note that all clinical tables will be addressed in the afternoon with the hope that more clinical staff may be able to attend a half day training. The UDS training is aimed at those who are responsible for gathering and reporting the data elements included in the UDS report, as well as management and clinical staff who need to understand the definitions and concepts used.
Review and Submission Process Deadlines and Dates
BPHC continues to refine the “review” process and to improve on the Electronic Hand Book interface for the UDS. Grantees will submit their UDS report by February 15th and then work with their reviewer to correct any possible errors not identified electronically by the EHB so that they can finalize their report by March 30th. Once finalized, BPHC will not permit further corrections or amendments.
Look-Alike (LAL) Reporting
Beginning with the 2011 UDS report, Look-Alikes will be required to submit a UDS report. Modifications to the UDS tables for LAL reporting will be addressed at the training. LookAlikes are encouraged to participate in the full day training program
Training Materials
All training materials will be printed and provided to attendees on the day of the training. JSI & HRSA have also provided some materials to be posted electronically, which are available here:
