Clinical Reporting System (CRS)  

Urban GPRA Reporting

BACKGROUND
Health care facilities operated and run by the Urban Indian Health Program are now required to report their Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) clinical performance measures to IHS and Congress. This is required of both Urban facilities using the Resource and Patient Management System (RPMS) and facilities not using RPMS. RPMS users must use the Clinical Reporting System (CRS) for reporting, and non-RPMS users must decide whether to use electronic and/or manual reporting methods for reporting and must ensure they use performance measure logic that corresponds with the CRS logic. With either method, information that is reported must include a data supported audit trail that can be verified and validated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

GPRA clinical measures are reported in the Prevention and Treatment categories, and some of these measures are listed below.

  • Quality of care for patients with diabetes
  • Cancer Screening
  • Immunizations
  • Domestic Violence Screening
  • FAS Prevention
  • Tobacco Cessation
  • Depression Screening

The GPRA report year runs July 1 through June 30 of each year and GPRA reports are due every quarter except 1st quarter. Reports are cumulative; each quarterly report contains data from July 1st of the GPRA reporting year.

  • 1st Quarter: July 1 - September 30; no report due.
  • 2nd Quarter: October 1 - December 31; report includes data from July 1-December 31.
  • 3rd Quarter: January 1 - March 31; report includes data from July 1-March 31.
  • 4th Quarter: April 1 - June 30; report includes data from July 1-June 30.

QUARTERLY GPRA REPORTING
The deadlines for the 2013 quarterly GPRA reports are shown below. Quarterly reports should be sent to your Area GPRA coordinator by e-mail or FTP (CRS reports only).

  • 2nd Quarter: January 25, 2013
  • 3rd Quarter : April 26, 2013
  • 4th Quarter (Final): July 26, 2013. RPMS programs should use CRS Version 13.0 patch 1.
