UDS+ is part of HRSA’s modernization effort to enhance healthcare reporting by transitioning from aggregated to patient-level data using FHIR standards. It enables de-identified patient-level submission, improving data accuracy, collaboration, and funding efficiency. UDS+ helps healthcare organizations achieve better outcomes through streamlined reporting, supports population health initiatives, and reduces the burden on providers. Preparation for UDS+ involves evaluating quality management, governance, team collaboration, and IT infrastructure readiness.
