eClinicalWorks spearheads new UDS+ reporting method for health centers nationwide
eClinicalWorks®, the largest ambulatory cloud EHR, announced its successful collaboration with HealthEfficient to complete Hyndman Area Health Center’s (HAHC) UDS+ (UDS Patient Level Submission) submissions to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). eClinicalWorks is one of the first EHRs to help complete UDS+ submissions. The UDS+ modernization initiative requires Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) to submit the UDS data through FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources).
eClinicalWorks is an HRSA–approved EHR vendor for UDS+ submissions and is actively working with FQHCs nationwide, like Hyndman Area Health Center, to complete submissions. UDS+ helps community health centers better track, analyze, and report quality care metrics, which helps improve practice efficiency and aid in data-driven decisions.
eClinicalWorks worked closely with HealthEfficient to facilitate a successful UDS+ submission for HACHC. HealthEfficient is a not-for-profit, mission-driven organization that offers advanced support to community health centers and other “safety net” providers nationwide. The organization specializes in clinical quality improvement, revenue cycle management, health information technology, and data analytics, and is one of the largest associations of its kind. Hyndman Area Health Center offers comprehensive healthcare services, including family medicine, dental, behavioral health, women’s health, chronic care management, and more.
“Collaborating with eClinicalWorks and HealthEfficient on our UDS+ submissions to HRSA marks the next monumental step in our longstanding and important partnership,” said Dr. Brian Stratta, CEO at Hyndman Area Health Center. “As we transition into and navigate this new phase of UDS+ submissions, it’s key to have these strong partnerships. The UDS initiative helps our practices better analyze, track, and report on quality care metrics, which in turn helps us provide essential care to our patients.”
“At HealthEfficient, we understand the many challenges health centers face with data analytics and reporting, particularly as compliance requirements evolve and modernize.
