The agency behind the health safety net and the federal picture of the health workforce.

What

What

HRSA

does

HRSA produces the federal estimates of the health workforce and runs the data system covering the country's community health centers.

Where the structure falls short

Federal workforce data is fragmented and thinly staffed, and key HRSA data functions lack a durable home.

What the blueprint recommends

Move workforce data into AHRQ

Move the health workforce data functions into the reauthorized AHRQ, while the Uniform Data System stays with HRSA.
