Short Abstract:
I am writing to confer on effective evaluation data for Urban Indian health programs (UIHPs) that are funded by the Indian Health Service (IHS) under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA). During several meetings over the past 2 years, I have heard that some programs are concerned that the data and evaluation requirements for Title V UIHPs are difficult to meet for some programs and do not accurately reflect the range of programs and services of UIHPs. For example, while certain clinical measures may be routine for UIHPs with ambulatory clinics, they may be difficult to meet by UIHPs that only provide limited clinical services or outreach and referral services.
