Disaster Relief Resources for Health Centers

With support from HRSA, Capital Link has prepared several resources to assist health centers affected by the recent hurricanes and wildfires in obtaining Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding for damaged or destroyed facilities. Resources include a general disaster recovery resource, which every health center should add to its emergency preparedness plan, as well as one-page customized resources for each of the recent disaster declarations. We will continue to update these resources here on our website as new information becomes available.

Performance Evaluation Profile – New Enhanced Version

Capital Link is now offering an enhanced version of our Performance Evaluation Profile (PEP). This diagnostic tool now features a peer comparison dashboard, in addition to dashboard summaries of the top 15 metrics examining financial health, productivity, utilization, and staffing. Using Capital Link's own database of health center audits and UDS information, the PEP provides health centers with multi-year performance trends, benchmarking the results against state, national, and peer medians across 73 financial and operational metrics. The analysis also indicates whether the results meet Capital Link’s industry recommendations. Learn more and view a sample report here.
