Abstract: The Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement Program supports three years of funding with the primary goal of assisting rural health care providers with implementation of quality improvement activities in a primary care setting. Performance measures were drafted to provide data to the program and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data. These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Office of Rural Health Policy, including (a) the population served, (b) sustainability, (c) health information technology and quality improvement activities, and (d) clinical outcomes. Several measures will be used for this program. The respondents would be Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement Program grant recipients.
