Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) Update



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.
