is authorized by Section 330I of the Public Health Service Act. The
Health Care Safety Net Amendments of 2002 (Public Law 107-251)

this authority, recipients are utilizing their established
telehealth networks to expand access to priority clinical services
in rural areas, particularly, rural schools. The data collected
with the performance measurement tool provides HRSA’s OAT with
information about outcome measures, including the effectiveness of
service programs, and monitor their progress through the use of
performance reporting data.
