The Uniform Data System (UDS) in-person training is a full day program covering the preparation of the 2019 UDS Report. The training addresses each of the report’s tables, including a discussion of the changes that have been made and the definitions necessary to complete the Report, and common problems/errors. 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, and those who use the data in their program management and quality improvement activities.

About the UDS: The Health Center Program grantees, look-alikes, and certain health centers funded under HRSA’s Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) are all required to submit their UDS Report by February 15, 2020.

After submission, health centers will work with their UDS reviewer to correct identified data errors and/or explain apparent anomalies, so that the UDS reports may be finalized. It is always critical to complete this process during the limited window available. Once finalized, the system will not permit further corrections or amendments.
