Abstract: Staff of the Sheps Center will lead the design and building of a data system that will routinely gather data from clinicians serving in loan repayment and similar programs in 11 states. These programs are operated by the National Health Service Corps, by states and by the two together. This data system will regularly query clinicians as they serve two to five year contracts to these programs, and query administrators in the practices where they serve. Sheps staff will design standard reports that participating states can produce whenever needed that summarizes the information that their clinicians-in-service have provided. The goal of the Collaborative and this project is to provide the information that states and programs need to support clinicians as they serve loan repayment contracts in needy communities to increase chances that they will remain in their service sites after their contracted service terms are completed. Sheps staff will also assist the participating states develop their joint efforts into an ongoing quality collaborative.
