Reports to Inform Decision Making
Over our long history of working with health centers, Capital Link has amassed an enormous amount of national data on the health center industry, particularly financial and operational data. We maintain a database of almost 10,000 health center audited financial statements and Uniform Data System information from 2005-2017, incorporating approximately 75% of all health centers nationally in any given year. This proprietary database is the only one of its kind and enables us to create analytical data reports to help health centers understand and improve their financial and operational performance and prepare for changing reimbursement models.

Demonstrate Health Center Value & Impact to Communities & Legislatures
As advocacy begins for the next Health Center Funding Cliff, Value & Impact reports illustrate the compelling story of how health centers spur economic growth, contribute to savings to the health system, and provide access to care for vulnerable populations. PCAs/HCCNs receive an aggregate impact summary of all member health centers, and members receive individual health center infographics. PCAs in more than 25 states across the country have demonstrated their member impact with these infographics. Learn more here. |
