Ryan White 2012 Grantee Meeting

In April 2012, NASTAD convened a consultation to advise the creation of two ADAP financial forecasting models for implementation in ADAPs. Consultation participants included NASTAD and HRSA/HAB staff, ADAP coordinators, fiscal monitoring staff from Ryan White Programs and national experts, including actuarial experts. The consultation addressed topics such as the data elements needed to create a financial forecasting model, examination and analysis of trends among data inputted into a financial forecasting model, how to project fiscal needs in ADAPs, and how to bring all of these components together into a sophisticated yet user-friendly model. This session will provide a summary of this consultation and NASTAD’s continued work to create a financial forecasting model for ADAP.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will understand the process NASTAD has taken to gain input into the creation of an ADAP financial forecasting model, including outcomes from an ADAP Financial Forecasting Consultation and focus groups with ADAP coordinators.
• Participants will learn about the components ADAP coordinators have identified as necessary to create an accurate financial forecasting model to project costs and fiscal need for ADAP.
  Participants will gain pratical knowledge of the importance of financial forecasting, including budget projections and identifying future need for a program.
