This tool will facilitate the identification of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Unifrom Data Systems; this is key to accurately measure health access as a result of CHW programs within a health center and to pinpoint appropriate training and technical assistance for your CHWs. 

With Community Health Workers (CHWs) identified as a unique staffing category in the Uniform Data System (UDS) for the first time in 2016, the number of FTEs reported has been much lower than expected (879 FTEs across 1367 grantees). Although in 2017, a slight increase was shown (1,130.36 across 1373 grantees), these figures appear inconsistent with the anecdotal evidence of widespread utilization of CHWs in Health Center settings. These inconsistencies may reflect unclear guidance on how to accurately identify and report the work of CHWs.

With a long history of successfully and effectively addressing health disparities, Community Health Workers (CHWs) can fill the gaps in services that many health care organizations experience in reaching underserved populations. This report outlines outcomes that support the effectiveness of the CHW model in prevention and disease management within Care Teams.
