Leveraging Housing Opportunities to Promote Retention in Care for People with HIV

Leveraging Electronic Health Records to Collect and Integrate Outcomes-Based Data in Care

As part of a Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) initiative Improving Health Outcomes through the Coordination of Supportive Employment and Housing Services, Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC) updated its data management process to better document housing and employment service outcomes.

Health behaviors, such as retention in HIV medical care and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), pose major challenges to reducing new HIV infections, addressing health disparities, and improving health outcomes. Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Service Use provides a conceptual framework for understanding how patient and environmental factors affect health behaviors and outcomes, which can inform the design of intervention strategies.
