Uniform Data System Reporting Updates

Timely, accurate, and complete 2025 Uniform Data System (UDS) reports are due in HRSA Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) on February 15, 2026. The full UDS report submission within EHBs will be the health center’s official submission of record for calendar year (CY) 2025. The following resources are available to help you prepare your submission.

 

UDS Preliminary Reporting Environment Now Open

The Uniform Data System (UDS) Preliminary Reporting Environment (PRE) allows you to enter and validate UDS data before the 2025 reporting period begins on Wednesday, January 1, 2026. The data you enter in the PRE will be pushed into the live reporting environment on January 1, 2026. The PRE is now available, and you can access it through the EHBs reporting portal.

Health centers can also download two offline reporting tools to help submit UDS data: offline Excel and HTML files. Visit the UDS Reporting Guidance webpage for UDS reporting guidance resources on EHBs and more..

Mastering Compliance

Proving Program Effectiveness Under Regulatory Scrutiny

Regulators are no longer satisfied with documentation alone; they want evidence that your compliance program actively prevents, detects, and corrects risk. Investigators expect to see how issues are identified early, investigated thoroughly, corrected effectively, and monitored over time. Boards demand measurable insight, and leadership needs confidence that exposure is managed before it becomes a liability. The standard has shifted from activity to impact.
