The WVPCA, in conjunction with HRSA/BPHC, will be hosting the 2024 UDS Virtual Training event, presented by Natalie Truesdell of JSI. This two-day virtual training will cover the preparation of the 2024 Uniform Data System (UDS) Report. This training is targeted toward those who are responsible for gathering and reporting the data elements included in the UDS Report, as well as management, finance, 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.
The UDS virtual training will be made up of two live three-hour training sessions with a 30-minute Q&A session as well. Participants should plan to attend all sessions for a full and comprehensive understanding of the complete UDS Report.
The annual training will be conducted virtually, via Zoom, in a series of two trainings as follows:
Session 1: Tuesday October 29th, 2024 | 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Session 2: Wednesday October 30th, 2024 | 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM
We are expecting a large number of attendees for this event. Attendees are asked to join the Zoom meeting room at 12:45 to ensure connectivity to the event.
Objectives:
1. Understand the who, what, when, where, and how of UDS reporting.
2. Discuss common reporting errors and tips for success.
3. Review key resources and supports available
Attendees will:
Gain an understanding of reporting the UDS including: the patient profile, reporting clinical services and quality of care indicators, operational and financial tables, and other required UDS reporting forms.
Learn about the new requirements included in 2024 reporting.
Learn tips for success including strategies for submission.
Receive valuable resources that provide further reporting guidance.
Review and Submission Process Deadlines:
Health Center Program grantees, look-alikes, and certain health centers funded under the HRSA’s Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) are all required to submit their UDS Report by February 15, 2025.
After submission, clinics will then work with their UDS reviewer to correct identified data errors and/or explain apparent anomalies, so that the UDS reports may be finalized by March 31st. It is always critical to complete this process during the limited window available. Once finalized, the system will not permit further corrections or amendments.
Training Materials:
Printed UDS manuals are no longer provided by the WVPCA. Attendees will receive a link to download the manual prior to training.
Registration closes on October 28th, 2024.
