Providing Primary Care and Preventative Medical Services in Ryan White – Funded Medical Care Setting
Client: HIV/AIDS Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA HAB)
The treatment advances in HIV/AIDS care are allowing people living with HIV to live longer, fuller lives. As the impact of HIV is changing, so are the health care needs of people living with HIV (PLWH). HIV care needs to improve overall well-being by including strategies to prevent disease, promote healthy lifestyles, and manage other chronic conditions. This shift requires more integration of HIV management and primary care. The goals of this project was for Mission Analytics Group, as a subcontractor to WRMA, Inc., to identify the types of primary and preventative care services provided by Ryan White clinics, models of service provision, gaps in care, and strategies for filling those gaps.
