The SPNS Systems Linkages and Access to Care Initiative supports the development of systems-level changes to improve linkage to and retention in high quality HIV care. This seven-state Initiative has begun with an initial two-year phase to test potential interventions on a smaller scale through the learning collaborative model, and will be followed by a subsequent two-year phase to evaluate the wider-scale implementation of the most promising interventions. In this workshop, we will explore the range of interventions that are being tested through the learning collaboratives in three of the states (Louisiana, North Carolina, and Wisconsin). Presentations will describe the successes and challenges encountered when implementing the interventions, and identify the critical steps for ensuring successful rollout of similar interventions in other states.
