1.0 Funding Use Questions
Operational Intent: This question will be asked of each funded sub-recipient to determine to which performance measures they should respond. Sub-recipients will only be asked to provide data for those performance measures that correspond to the outcomes and activities for which they used Hospital Association COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Activities Cooperative Agreement funding.
1.1 Sub-recipient Question on Facility and Organization Type (collected at end of project year)
PM 1: Please select the sub-recipient type that most closely represents your facility or organization:
- Acute care hospital
- Specialty care center
- Outpatient/ambulatory care (includes primary care clinics, urgent care centers, dialysis, community health centers, etc.)
- Home and residential care (includes long-term care, home health agencies, skilled nursing facilities, etc.)
- EMS/pre-hospital (also includes 911 and PSAP)
- Support service (pharmacy, blood bank, medical supply chain)
- Hospital system
- Other health care entity (free response)

1.3 Estimated Funding by Target Outcomes (collected at end of project year)
PM 3: Select the target outcomes (one or more) that your hospital association, facility, or organization directly used Hospital Association COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Activities Cooperative Agreement funding to achieve. Hospital Associations should not include funding they distributed to sub-recipients in their response, but should only answer for funding used directly by the Hospital Association. For each targeted outcome for which your hospital association, facility, or organization used cooperative agreement funding, indicate the estimated number of cooperative agreement funding dollars used for the associated outcome. Please leave all other sections blank.
