No changes were made to the Compliance Manual. In response to this feedback, HRSA made several updates to increase the SVP’s effectiveness, clarity, consistency, and transparency.
The SVP provides HRSA with information necessary to perform its oversight responsibilities using a standard and transparent methodology that aligns with the Health Center Program Compliance Manual (Compliance Manual).Īs part of continuous quality improvement efforts, HRSA collected feedback about the SVP and site visit process from stakeholders, including health centers, strategic partners, site visit team reviewers, and HRSA staff. The SVP is the tool used to assess compliance with Health Center Program requirements. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) implemented the Health Center Program Site Visit Protocol (SVP) for all Operational Site Visits (OSVs) and look-alike (LAL) initial designation (ID) site visits in January 2018.
