Health Center Program ComplianceIn August 2018 HRSA released the newly revised Health Center Program Compliance Manual, which aligns with the Federal Tort Claims (FTCA) Deeming application and process. Also in August 2018, HRSA released the newly revised Operational Site Visit Protocol, which aligns with the Compliance Manual. Health center boards and leaders are responsible for ensuring they comply with all the requirements outlined in the manual. We recommend also reading the Compliance Manual FAQs, Progressive Action Conditions Library and the table of changes, by Chapter, prepared by HRSA. Most prior HRSA policy guidance is incorporated into the manual, however a few HRSA Policy Information Notices (PINs) remain in place, including those on: Service Area Overlap, Emergency Preparedness, Defining Scope of Project and Requesting Changes, Specialty Services Scope of Project, and Special Population-Only Grantees Requesting a Change in Scope to Add a New Target Population and all Uniform Data System (UDS) Resources.
