Abstract: The purpose of the Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement Grant (Rural Quality) Program is to provide support to rural primary care providers for implementation of quality improvement activities. Performance measures for the Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement (SHCPQI) Program serve the purpose of quantifying awardee-level data that conveys the successes and challenges associated with the grant award. These measures and aggregate data substantiate and inform the focus and objectives of the grant program. This data collection provides HRSA with information on how well each grantee is meeting the needs of implementing quality improvement activities in a rural setting. The respondents for these measures are SHCPQI Program award recipients.
