4 Site Survey

DRAFT Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Outcomes and Expanded Insurance Coverage Site Survey OMB Number: XXXX-XXXX

Expiration Date: XX-XX-20XX

CONSENT SCRIPT

Welcome. You are receiving this survey because you are a Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) provider. This study is being implemented by Abt Associates and its research partners under contract to the HRSA, HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB).

The focus of this evaluation is to determine the effect that the changing healthcare coverage landscape has had on overall health outcomes, service utilization, and gaps in care of HIV-positive individuals. It also seeks to understand how different RWHAP provider site models of care meet the needs of clients under the variety of healthcare coverage options, as well as to explore the challenges unique to clients with detectable viral loads. Your answers to the enclosed survey are essential to reaching the study goals.

Survey Welcome and Start Page

Thank you for participating in this survey. We are interested in information you can provide based upon your professional experience providing services at your clinic. Below are some definitions to help clarify what is being asked in each of the questions.

Medicaid Expansion/Newly Eligible Medicaid - Expanded Medicaid eligibility to include persons with income levels at or below 138 percent of the FPL, without a disability determination from the Social Security Administration. For the purpose of this survey, this includes clients covered through 1115 waiver programs.

Marketplace Insurance/Qualified Health Plan (QHP): A health insurance plan that is approved by a Federal or State-run Marketplace:

• Provides essential health benefits

• Follow limits on how much of their own money people pay for services covered by the health plan, such as limits on deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-pocket maximum amounts

• Meet other requirements, such as being a licensed insurer

• A qualified health plan must be approved by each Marketplace in which it is sold

HIV-related medication: HIV medications include ARVs, and medications for opportunistic infections (A1-OI)

RWHAP Core Medical and Support Services: When this term is used in the questions below it refers to services that were provided using RWHAP funds, e.g. if a client received care similar to that provided in a RWHAP service, but that care was reimbursed by third party coverage, then you would not count that service. If any RWHAP funds were used to provide that care because it was not third-party reimbursable, then it would be counted as a RWHAP service. Use of RWHAP funds for a service would include supporting out of pocket costs, such as copays and deductibles.

Viral Suppression: Being virally suppressed is defined as having a viral load of less than 200 copies/mL at last viral load test.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.  The OMB control number for this project is XXXX-XXXX.  Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to HRSA Reports Clearance Officer, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 10-29, Rockville, Maryland, 20857.

1. Integration of HIV and primary care services.

Please answer these questions based upon your professional experience providing services at your clinic.

1. Which statement best describes the model of care utilized for RWHAP clients at your clinic? (Check one)

	Check One
Exclusively primary care: Primary care provider is the lead provider for care of the patient’s HIV in providing most primary care and most HIV-related care; no specialist physician (HIV specialist or Infectious Disease (ID) physicians) provides any HIV care.
Primary care-dominant, co-management: Primary care provider provides majority of HIV-related care, and a specialist physician provides some HIV care (on or off-site).
Specialist-dominant, co-management: HIV specialist provides majority of HIV-related care, and a primary care provider provides some primary care (on or off-site).
Exclusively HIV specialist care: A HIV specialist provides all HIV-related care and primary care (non HIV care).

2. Please select the level that best describes the extent of collaboration or integration of HIV services and primary care services for the RWHAP clients at your clinic. (Check one)

	Levels of Collaboration or Integration1	Check One
Coordinated Care	Level 1 — Minimal Collaboration: HIV specialists and primary care providers work at separate facilities and have separate systems. Providers communicate rarely about cases. When communication occurs, it is usually based on a particular provider’s need for specific information about a mutual client.
	Level 2 — Basic Collaboration at a Distance: HIV specialists and primary care providers maintain separate facilities and separate systems. Providers view each other as resources and communicate periodically about shared clients. These communications are typically driven by specific issues.
Co-Located Care	Level 3 — Basic Collaboration Onsite: HIV specialists and primary care providers are co-located in the same facility, but may or may not share the same practice space. Providers still use separate systems, but communication becomes more regular due to close proximity, especially by phone or email, with an occasional meeting to discuss shared clients. Movement of clients between practices is most often through a referral process that has a higher likelihood of success because the practices are in the same location.
	Level 4 — Close Collaboration with Some System Integration: There is closer collaboration among primary care providers and HIV specialists due to co-location in the same practice space, and there is the beginning of integration in care through some shared systems. A typical model may involve a primary care setting embedding a HIV specialist. In an embedded practice, the primary care front desk schedules all appointments and the HIV specialist has access and enters notes in the medical record.
Integrated care	Level 5 — Close Collaboration Approaching an Integrated Practice: There are high levels of collaboration and integration between HIV specialists and primary care providers. The providers begin to function as a true team, with frequent personal communication. However, some issues, like the availability of an integrated medical record, may not be readily resolved. Providers understand the different roles team members need to play and they have started to change their practice and the structure of care to better achieve client goals.
	Level 6 — Full Collaboration in a Transformed/Merged Practice: The highest level of integration involves the greatest amount of practice change. Fuller collaboration between providers has allowed antecedent system cultures (whether from two separate systems or from one evolving system) to blur into a single transformed or merged practice. Providers and clients view the operation as a single health system treating the whole person.
