During the
public comment period, HRSA has
encouraged State Primary Care Offices
(PCOs) to apply the proposed
methodology using their own State and
local data to see how well it works in
identifying areas in need in their States.
HRSA has provided assistance, tools,
and data to support States in their
efforts and will continue to do so. In
order to facilitate a better understanding
of the proposed rule, HRSA provided
PCOs with a calculator that applies the
formulas proposed in the rule to
determine designation, with data files,
as well as with technical assistance in
using the calculator. HRSA has also
provided the names of PCOs who, with
their expertise with different data
sources, may be able to offer some
technical assistance to their colleagues.
