HRSA UDSHRSA Uniform Data System (UDS)
U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration · Tier-2 · profile-enrichment (renders on matched profiles)
HRSA Uniform Data System (UDS) publishes annual performance data for ~1,400 Health Center Program awardees operating ~9,000 Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) sites. Data covers patient population (Medicaid/uninsured %), clinical quality measures (diabetes control, hypertension, prenatal care), staffing FTEs by role, grant award amounts, service delivery hours, and facility-level CCN identifiers.
How this source shows up on Fonteum.
Tier-2 profile-enrichment for FQHC sites. Joins to existing HRSA HPSA shortage designations via FIPS and to the NPI identity graph via CCN — enabling shortage + quality compound queries. Awardee-level clinical quality measures (CQ01–CQ10+) and staffing data render on FQHC facility profiles with full provenance.
What this source does NOT mean
UDS data is awardee-level aggregate reporting (not patient-level, not individual provider quality scores). Clinical quality measures are FQHC program eligibility metrics, not independent quality certifications. Grant amounts reflect Health Center Program awards only, not total facility revenue.
Per-field display contract.
Every field below has a `display_allowed` flag in the §94 provenance schema. Write-locked fields are captured to provenance for audit but never rendered on profile pages.
Research-only — never on profiles
7 fieldsWhat we can’t infer from this source.
- UDS reports are self-reported aggregate filings by Health Center Program awardees under federal regulatory obligation. They are not audited.
- Quality measures apply only to the FQHC enrolled patient panel — not comparable to hospital or specialist quality metrics.
- Data is available annually with ~6-month lag (grant year N data publishes ~May of year N+1).
- Site-level NPI/CCN identifiers may be incomplete; FQHC sites without an NPI are excluded from the NPI identity graph join.

What the source allows.
U.S. government public-domain works (17 U.S.C. § 105). HRSA publishes UDS as an annual flat-file export at data.hrsa.gov with explicit redistribution rights. Fonteum mirrors the source bytes (SHA-256 attested) and publishes a per-snapshot manifest under data/uds/.
What a single field looks like in the graph.

Compliance posture
We don’t sell ranking and don’t accept payment to move a provider up the list. For final hire decisions, verify licensing, insurance, and references directly with the applicable licensing or credentialing body.
No bulk-licensing source family is currently ingested for this vertical. Hire-time checking still routes through the body named above.
