This ICR is
approved consistent with changes made to the revised UDS manual, in
response to public comments. Most importantly, HRSA agrees to
collect data on lead screening through other instruments and to
ensure that patients who are sampled for clinical outcome measures
can be reasonably expected to rely on CHCs as their usual source of
care (e.g. by including only those patients who have had at least 2
encounters with a CHC professional within the reporting period for
the diabetes measure). Nevertheless, HRSA shall exercise caution
when interpreting results and provide all appropriate disclaimers
about potential data limitations. Finally, multi-site grantees
shall ensure that the patients they sample for all UDS measures are
representative of their patient caseload, rather than selecting
patients from only one particular site.

The Uniform Data System (UDS) is the
Bureau of Primary Health Care's annual reporting system for
grantees. The UDS includes reporting requirements for grantees of
the following programs: the Community Health Center program, the
Migrant Health Center program, the Health Care for the Homeless
program, and other 330 funded grantees. The UDS is the tool that is
used for monitoring and evaluating health center performance, and
for ensuring compliance with legislative mandates.
The increase in burden is a
program change due to a revision of the UDS reporting requirements,
increasing the time per respondent from the previous estimate.
