Data and Statistics

Uniform Data System

The Uniform Data System (UDS) tracks a variety of information, including patient demographics, services provided, staffing, clinical indicators, utilization rates, costs, and revenues. UDS data are collected at the grantee (individual CHC), state, and national levels.

The data are reviewed to ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements, improve health center performance and operations, and report overall program accomplishments.. The data help to identify trends over time, establish or expand targeted programs and identify effective services and interventions to improve the health of underserved communities and vulnerable populations.

UDS data are compared with national data to look at differences between the U.S. population at large and those individuals and families who rely on the Health Care safety net, including Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers and Health Care for the Homeless Centers, for primary care. UDS data also inform Health Center Program grantees, partners, and communities about Health Centers and their patients.
