Each faculty member – a current fiscal, governance, and clinical reviewer – will provide practical tips and promising practices for ensuring not just a successful OSV but for achieving and maintaining a state of continuous compliance.

This webinar series will provide:

• A practical overview of the Health Center Program requirements, HRSA’s Health Center Program Compliance Manual, and HRSA’s Site Visit Protocol (updated in May 2021)
• Tips for navigating the Virtual OSV process;
• Potential pain points and common areas of conditions/findings;
• Strategies for preparing your board and health center and steps that your health center can take to ensure continuous compliance
• Insights and tips from a reviewer’s perspective

1. Describe HRSA’s process and tools for assessing compliance with the Health Center Program Requirements.
2. Identify at least three pain points and/or areas of conditions found through the OSV.

Background on HRSA’s Health Center Compliance Program

The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) first released the Health Center Program Compliance Manual in August 2017 with subsequent updates and revisions. The Compliance Manual outlines the Health Center Program Requirements. The Health Center Compliance Manual is updated by HRSA as appropriate and serves as the foundational “requirements” guidance for health centers.

HRSA assesses compliance with these program requirements through the Operational Site Visit (OSV). HRSA conducts OSVs with all health centers at least once every three years –330 funded and Look-Alikes – to assess compliance. In December 2017, HRSA released its’ first Site Visit Protocol (SVP) aligned with the Compliance Manual.
