Not later than one year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall submit to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives a report assessing the effectiveness of the National Health Service Corps (referred to in this section as the NHSC ) at attracting health care professionals to health professional shortage areas designated under section 332 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254e) (referred to in this section as HPSAs ), such as by— assessing the metrics used by the Health Resources and Services Administration in evaluating the program; comparing the retention rates of NHSC participants in the HPSAs where they completed their period of obligated service to the retention rate of non-NHSC participants in the corresponding HPSAs; comparing the retention rates of NHSC participants in the HPSAs where they completed their period of obligated service to the retention rates of NHSC participants in HPSAs other than those where they completed their period of obligated service; identifying factors that influence a NHSC participant’s decision to practice in a HPSA other than the HPSA where they completed their period of obligated service; identifying factors other than participation in the National Health Service Corps Scholarship and Loan Repayment Programs that attract health care professionals to a HPSA; assessing the impact the NHSC has on wages for health care professionals in a HPSA; and comparing the distribution of NHSC participants across HPSAs, including a comparison of rural versus non-rural HPSAs.
In this section, the term NHSC participant means a National Health Service Corps member participating in the National Health Service Corps Scholarship or Loan Repayment Program under subpart III of part D of title III of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254l et seq.).
