Coming to the Community Health Institute (CHI) and Expo? Attendees are invited on August 24 at noon to join Upstream USA for a lunch and learn as they discuss the “Implementing a Universal Reproductive Health Screening: How to comply with the UDS reporting changes” at CHI. As a result of the new guidelines by HRSA, all FQHCs will now be required to report how many of their patients were screened for pregnancy intentions. FQHCs are critical access points for contraceptive care and screening. This informative lunch will focus on how UDSs may affect your health center(s), and what Upstream USA can do to support your teams as you navigate these new federal requirements for 2024.
