Background
Why develop an HIV registry? Aggregate view of HIV related outcomes; Timely accessibility of data; and Discover what interventions are needed and for whom.
Institute’s Strategy The Institute seeks to ensure that all patients with HIV/AIDS receive high quality care consistent with expert recommendations. We intend to develop an HIV/AIDS patient registry populated by electronic health record data.
Goals and Objectives To create and implement a guideline-based registry of patients with HIV/AIDS that can be used as a tool to improve quality of care across multiple care sites; and Develop a registry of HIV/AIDS patients that can be used to identify and address racial and ethnic disparities in care and outcomes by providing outreach to patients at highest risk of poor outcomes.
