Results of Limited Scope Review of Hudson River HealthCare, Inc.'s Process for Compiling and Reporting Selected Recovery Act Data

Hudson River HealthCare, Inc's (Hudson River) processes for reporting selected data elements generally provided reasonable assurance that it complied with section 1512 requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). Specifically, Hudson River accurately reported funds received, funds expended, project status, and the final project report indicator. However, Hudson River overstated the number of jobs retained in the second reporting period by 38.02 full-time equivalents (FTE) and, in the third reporting period, overstated the number of jobs retained by 37.47 FTEs.

We recommended that Hudson River follow current Health Resources and Services Administration reporting guidance and ensure that similar errors are not made in subsequent reporting periods. In written comments on our draft report, Hudson River concurred with our recommendations and described completed and ongoing actions to address our findings.
