1. Helpful Tips for Submitting Diabetes Action Plans As a part of the HRSA Health Center Program Diabetes Quality Improvement Initiative, 2018 operational site visits and diabetes targeted TA visits include action planning relating to the Uniform Data System (UDS) diabetes measure.
Make sure health center staff register for Action Plan privileges in EHBs, which will allow them to access the Action Plan. Important Tip: After reviewing the Plan, click “Mark as Complete” and then “Confirm and Send” to return the Plan to HRSA. See the Diabetes Action Plan User Guide for illustrations of the EHBs steps.
Once HRSA has approved your diabetes Action Plan, you can track progress, send quarterly progress notes for HRSA staff to review, and finally resolve the Action Plan finding after the three diabetes performance improvement actions have been achieved.

2. For assistance with the EHBs Action Plan module, please contact the BPHC Helpline online or by phone: BPHC (2742) from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday (except federal holidays).
A recent HRSA webinar focused on diabetes performance improvement and action planning. Watch the recording. Health center colleagues shared how they prepared for the root cause analysis discussion of their UDS diabetes measure at recent site visits and their performance improvement action plan. Presentations featured Lorain County Health & Dentistry (Ohio) and Share Our Selves (California).
