Federally funded health centers and health center “look-alikes” (collectively health centers) report on all sorts of data about patients and performance, including housing and homeless status. In fact, as part of the 2019 Uniform Data System (UDS) Data Standard Updates, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) introduced for the first time a requirement that certain health centers track those patients who report living in permanent supportive housing. This UDS Quick Guide will inform health center staff on how UDS offers rich and quite detailed insight into the important operations of health centers.

Health centers use data and technology to improve health outcomes of patients, speed administrative processes, and collect patients’ health and housing histories. This guidance will help health centers evaluate and make decisions regarding data collection, utilization, and sharing to improve health outcomes for vulnerable patients.
