BUREAU OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE REQUESTED SERVICE AREA MAPS
▪ Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) often asks for maps and data tables to accompany
grant and funding applications
▪ UDS Mapper is a foundational tool for these requests
▪ Strongly recommended elements from UDS Mapper:
• Map
• Data Table
• Low-Income Not Served by Health Centers for service area (total)
▪ Optional elements from UDS Mapper:
• Penetration of Low-Income for service area (rate)
• Distance and travel time to a nearby awardee or look-alike
• Special circumstance data

WAYS TO DETERMINE SERVICE AREA
Service areas are based on:
▪ Where your patients come from
• Data from Uniform Data System (UDS)
• Data from Electronic Health Records
▪ Distance from a location
▪ Population data
• Penetration of Low-Income
• Demographics/health outcomes/social determinants
▪ A list provided by BPHC

www.udsmapper.org
PROXIMATE/ADJACENT SITES
▪ BPHC Project Officers also want to see HCP service delivery sites, RHCs, hospitals, and NHSC sites in ZCTAs that are immediately adjacent to your service area
▪ Be sure the ZCTAs surrounding your service area are visible when printing your map
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 26
www.udsmapper.org
DETERMINE WHAT
SHOULD BE LABELED (1)
▪Label this health center site because it is in a ZCTA adjacent to your service area
▪Using your mouse, roll over the ZCTAs with a health center site; if the ZCTA touches your service area, that health center site should be labeled
▪Remember – only label your proposed location (if any) and health center service delivery sites
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 27
www.udsmapper.org
DETERMINE WHAT
SHOULD BE LABELED (2)▪Do not label this
health center site because it is not in a ZCTA adjacent to your service area
▪If you specifically mentioned a site in your narrative that is not in an adjacent ZCTA, you may still choose to label it
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 28
www.udsmapper.org
BEFORE ADDING LABELS, CHECK YOUR PRINT PREVIEW
▪ Labeling items in any Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping application is tricky
▪ When you label items and then change the zoom, labels will not move with other map elements
▪ Check the print preview to be sure you are working on the zoom level that you will use for your final map
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 29
www.udsmapper.org
PRINT MAP OPTIONS (1)
▪ In the Print view you can choose to switch the orientation of the page or make the map a full page map• Default is portrait-oriented, half-page map
▪ Determine which layout best shows off your area and adjacent ZCTAs
▪ See the UDS Mapper tutorial How to Save or Print in the UDS Mapper on the UDS Mapper Tutorials page -https://udsmapper.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/HowtoShareSaveorPrintintheUDSMapper-2021-04-06.pdf

PORTRAIT, HALF-PAGE
MAP▪This is the default print
layout which may not be appropriate for your service area
▪At this zoom level, service areas and adjacent ZCTAs may be cut off
▪To allow for full display, change orientation and/or zoom
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 32
www.udsmapper.org
FULL-PAGE MAP;
ORIGINAL ZOOM
▪For this service area, we need to zoom out one level and switch to a full-page map
▪Entire service area, and the adjacent ZCTAs with health centers that must be labeled, are visible
▪Use this as layout for final map
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 33
www.udsmapper.org
ADD LABELS (1)
▪ Use the Drawing Tools to add labels
▪ Tip: make a list of all the places to be labeled, create all labels, then move them into position
• Roll over each place to be labeled and write down the organization name, not the site name
• Label sites as “Organization Name site”
▪ Label only what is required
▪ Be sure you don’t place labels too far outside your service area so everything fits in your final layout
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 34
www.udsmapper.org

DATA TABLE
▪ Be sure data table is showing combined data (awardee and look-alike data are aggregated) – this is the default option
▪ Data table should include elements for standard UDS Mapper Report – this is the default option
▪ Do not add any other data elements unless they are necessary to make your case
▪ You may need to see Low-Income Not Served by Health Centers (#) – this is not required on your data table but you may need the number for your application
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 38
www.udsmapper.org
CHECK THE DATA TABLE
▪The default option is Combined; do not change it prior to printing the report
▪The default data table reflects the Standard UDS Mapper Report; we recommend that you include only these items
▪Click other tabs and Select None to remove any data you may have added, unless needed to make your case
Using the UDS Mapper to Create Service Area Maps 39
