New Customized Report Examines Health Inequities Among FQHC Patient Populations

Capital Link’s new Patient Profile and Health Equity Analysis is a customized report examining select health center patient population characteristics and clinical outcome performance measures by race and ethnicity. As documented in multiple studies, minority and low-income populations have less access to health care and poorer health outcomes. This report is designed to assist health centers and PCAs in identifying their own successes and challenges, including any health inequities that may need to be addressed in order to promote true health equity among the most vulnerable patient populations. Learn more here >

 



Newly updated and redesigned with 2021 HRSA UDS data, Capital Link’s Performance Evaluation Profile (PEP) is a diagnostic tool for health centers and PCAs to examine financial health, productivity, utilization, and staffing.

Using UDS information and Capital Link's own database of health center financial audits, the PEP provides multi-year performance trends for 2018 through 2021, benchmarking the results against state, national, and peer medians across 113 financial and operational metrics. It features a peer comparison dashboard and dashboard summaries of the top 62 metrics. The analysis also indicates whether the results meet Capital Link’s industry recommendations.
