Ryan White 2012 Grantee Meeting

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and National HIV/AIDS Strategy highlight the need to increase HIV workforce capacity and expand access through primary care. The HIV Community Care Continuum (CCC) Model for integration of HIV into primary care responds to limitations of existing models for building and measuring capacity for HIV care in primary care settings. This dynamic model guides the assessment and delivery of training to progressively build capacity to deliver a range of services while ensuring quality HIV care and treatment either internally or through collaborations. Tiered performance measures demonstrate clear baselines and allow tracking of HIV care improvements aligned with current Institute of Medicine recommendations to identify baseline and progress in HIV care delivery.

Learning Objectives:

• The session will address the need for HIV care models to incorporate assessment, training plan development, and performance measurement in a comprehensive approach for successful integration into primary care settings.
• Barriers and facilitators to successful integration of HIV into primary care and the role of Ryan White providers in assuring quality care will be discussed.
• This session will describe the process of aligning evaluation and performance indicators to the recent IOM repor,t Monitoring HIV Care in the United States, to ensure and measure quality HIV services.
