Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) will be completing an update to the software they utilize
to process Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) score applications. This
will affect healthcare sites nationwide and during the transition, application
submissions for new or updated HPSA scores will be put on hold until the
overhaul is complete. The expected date of completion for the software update
will be December 2014. HRSA will also be changing the schedule previously used
for applicants to submit information for HPSA score updates. Applicants will be
notified by the state Primary Care Office when an application is due.
