Definition Linkage: The process of connecting a client from one service system to another, in this case from HIV testing to HIV care. LTC = Linkage To Care
Why is this important? Reduce HIV transmission by connecting newly diagnosed individuals to medical care as soon as possible after diagnosis; and Connect more PLWHA with HIV-related medical and support services to improve their health; and Facilitate a coordinated system of services from HIV prevention and testing to HIV care.
Systems Involved in Providing Linkage
Measure of Successful Linkage 90% of persons testing HIV+ will be referred to LTC. 80% will be linked to medical care within 90 days of testing positive. Successful linkage from testing to medical care is defined by the client attending the initial visit at a medical setting with a HIV care provider.
Polling Question! What proportion of your newly diagnosed people with HIV are linked to care? 0%-25% 26%-50% 51%-75% 76%-100% I’m not sure
Polling Question! What percentage of your clients who are linked to HIV care are retained in care (2 or more visits in the first year after linkage)? 0%-25% 26%-50% 51%-75% 76%-100% I’m not sure

LTC Client Pathway
LARHC Linkage and Re-Engagement in HIV Care How are we going to capture all these LTC activities?
Overview of systems involved The project will work with 3 existing systems, eHARS, CareWare and ODRS. eHARS CareWare ODRS Patient
Goals of LARHC To have a registry of everyone living with HIV to provide Linkage to Care And Re-Engagement in Care Services. To have a place to store data related to LARHC. Have the ability to create reports from unified data. Store new information related to patient/case.
Solution 1 for LARHC Extract information from CareWare and eHARS, merge into ODRS and view consolidated info using ODRS GUI eHARS CareWare ODRS ODRS GUI
Pros/Cons of Solution 1 PROS: Creates a central datastore for all information from eHARS and CareWare. Information can be viewed using existing ODRS GUI. CONS: Complicated ODRS system. Introducing new functionality into ODRS might create new issues. Information is not current (eHARS, CareWare).
Solution 2 for LARHC Create a new subcomponent in ODRS called LARHC and provide views into eHARS and CareWare. eHARS CareWare view ODRS system LARHC
Pros/Cons of Solution 2 PROS: Provides views into external eHARS and CareWare systems. Information can be viewed using existing ODRS GUI. CONS: Complicated ODRS system. Introducing new functionality into ODRS might create new issues.
Solution 3 for LARHC Create a new application independent of ODRS that can satisfy all the needs of LARHC. eHARS CareWare ODRS LARHC GUI LARHC view
Pros/Cons of Solution 3 PROS: Creates real time views into external systems. Does not involve extraction/transformation/loading external data into ODRS. Provides ability to report data from various disparate systems for reporting purposes. Allows Care Management specific information to be stored. CONS: Dependent on external systems to show data.
Components of Solution 3 LARH C Mapping Query / Search Reporting Administration Care Management
Challenges LTC coordinators in place before protocols / IT system Distinction between role of LTC coordinator, DIS and case manager Patient confidentiality for long-term follow- up
Successes During first six months of 2013, 94.5% (411/435) of newly identified, confirmed HIV-positive clients were referred to medical care. During first six months of 2013, 64.6% (281/435) of newly identified, confirmed HIV-positive clients attended their first medical care appointment within 90 days of the confirmed HIV-positive test date. HIV/STD Prevention, HIV Care, and HIV/STD Surveillance programs working collaboratively.
