  9. SPNS Overview

  10. What are ‘SPNS’? • Special Projects of National Significance • Part of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program and administered by the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau • Aims to support the development of innovative models of HIV care that respond to emerging needs of Ryan White clients • Topics for SPNS funding prioritized by HRSA • Strong evaluation/research component to assess the effectiveness of models, and then focus on the dissemination and replication of successes at a national level

  11. SPNS Initiative – Systems, Linkages andAccess to Care • Development of innovative and sustainable systemic models of linkage to improve access to and retention in quality HIV care • Alignment of different components of the public health system, such as surveillance, counseling/testing, emergency rooms, mental health/substance use clinics, correctional health-care facilities (traditional and non-traditional providers) • Alignment with National HIV/AIDS Strategy Goals: • Reduce number of people who become infected w/HIV • Increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes • Reducing HIV related health disparities

SPNS Initiative – Systems, Linkages, andAccess to Care • Timetable • RFA Announcement: March 2, 2011 • Grant Application: April 4, 2011 • Initiation of SPNS Grant: September 1, 2011; October, 2011; and WNY, June, 2012 • End of SPNS Grant: August 31, 2015 • SPNS Awardees: • New York • Louisiana • Massachusetts • North Carolina • Pennsylvania • Virginia • Wisconsin

  16. NYS Links Overview

  17. Together, WE identify innovative solutions for improving linkage to and retention in HIV care to support the delivery of routine, timely, and effective care for PLWHA in New York State; and bridge systemic gaps between HIV related services to achieve better outcomes for PLWHA through improving systems for monitoring, recording, and accessing information about HIV care in NYS. NY Links Mission

  18. Timeline Collaborative Waves Statewide Dissemination Data and Systems Integration SPNS Evaluation Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 • Years 1 & 2 Collaborative Waves • Wave I: Upper Manhattan Regional Group and Western NYS • Wave II: 2 Collaboratives in NYC • Wave III: 2 Upstate Collaboratives • Years 3 & 4 Statewide Dissemination • Identification of Successful Linkage/Retention Interventions • Statewide Conference(s) to Promote Successful Interventions • Webinars, Conference Calls, etc. • Posting on AIDS Institute and other QI Websites

Data Subcommittee Purpose: • to identify and address key issues and to effectively utilize already available data sets (epi/surveillance, Medicaid, AIRS, etc.) to improve linkage/retention • to make these data sets accessible to frontline providers for quality improvement efforts Major Participants: • Denis Nash (lead) & Dr. Bruce Agins • Dennis Tsui (Medicaid) • Dr. Colin Shephard (NYCDOHMH Epi & Surveillance) • Mary Irvine (NYCDOHMH E-Share) • John Fuller (NYSDOH AIRS) • Dr. Lou Smith & Dan Gordon (NYSDOH Epi & Surveillance) • Eli Camhi (Metroplus) • Tom Moore (Healthix)

  20. Upper Manhattan Regional Group • Engagement of all medical and non-medical providers in the Upper Manhattan geographic area to improve linkage to and retention in HIV care (31 sites) • Current Progress: • 3rd Learning Session: April 10th , 2012 • 1st Collection of Collaborative Measures: April 2nd, 2012 • 2 QI Workshops modified for linkage and retention have been held • Next Steps: • Test and evaluate provider-driven interventions • Provide data measures technical assistance • Blue-Clinical Program Participating in the Upper Manhattan Regional Group • Yellow-Supportive Service Program Participating in Upper Manhattan Regional Group

  21. Western New York State • Engagement of all HIV medical and non-medical providers in the Western NY geographic area (Rochester and Buffalo) to improve linkage to and retention in HIV care • Current Progress: • Support and involvement of Erie and Monroe County DOH • List of participating providers developed • Planning Group developed • Next Steps: • 1st Collaborative Meeting: June 12 • Continue to conduct initial introductory Site Visits

  22. WNY Collaborative Teams by Zip Codes • Red-Clinical Programs Participating in the WNYS Regional Collaborative As of April 26, 3012

  24. Nanette Brey Magnani Small group work:building a system to link and retain patients

  25. Building a System to Link and Retain • Overview: • To visually create a system and its sub systems that depict organizational relationships that link patients to care within each region of Western NY – Buffalo area and Rochester area. • The diagrams will illustrate: • the strength of organizational relationships (none to strong). • linking and retaining patients in care • Uses: Over time, • identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement (system, sub-systems) • peer exchange • identifying needs for TA and content and methodology for regional workshops

  26. Part 1 • 30 minutes • Each agency writes its name on a circle. If there are several departments within an agency, the department(s) can write its name on each of the designated color circle. • Each agency goes up to the flip chart and tapes its circle(s) on the flip chart paper. • Draw a blue arrow connecting your agency to those agencies that you have a linkage and retention relationship with, ie, protocols in place, frequent referrals and follow up. An arrow in one direction means the communication is essentially in one direction. An arrow that goes in both directions means there is communication and feedback re patients referred, linked and documented. • Draw a green line to those agencies that you have a more informal relationship with and less frequent referrals. • If you work with an agency that is not here, add its name to a circle and tape it to the diagram. • Write down questions, circumstances that fall outside of these directions.

  27. Part 2 • 20 minutes • For those agencies (departments) that you have a blue line, write down your strategies or what you do to refer and link patients to care. • For agencies (departments) that provide primary care, write in your circle or next to it, what strategies you use to retain patients in care.

  28. Part 3 • 10 min • Large group exchange: • Share your experience and observations in creating the diagram. Were there new insights? To what degree was there agreement? • What are some of your system’s strengths? sub-systems strengths? • Are there opportunities to strengthen your system? Sub-system? • What can you observe about your strategies for linking or retaining patients?

  29. Clemens Steinbock Working lunchintroduction to response team

  30. Collaborative Response Team A Collaborative Response Team is a self-organizing, peer-driven group made up of 5-10 nominated leaders with complementary skill sets and roles from among each NYS Collaborative membership. Purpose: Streamline communication across teams Strengthen leadership capacity in the Collaborative Support & direct Collaborative activities Increase sustainability beyond the Collaborative 30

  31. Response Team Members Wanted! Expectations: Conduct regular team meetings Share information routinely with collaborative body Participate in Collaborative planning efforts Report back on collaborative progress to constituents Support collaborative members in QI competency Membership: Cross-agency & cross-provider category Reflects various functional skill needs of the Collaborative Composition and core roles flexible based on needs of the Collaborative Membership determined by Collaborative participants 31

  39. Review:Data Collection

  40. To the extent possible, integrate data collection into current approach - e.g. modify intake and referral forms to include questions then enter • onto a tracking form • into an EMR, e.g., AIDS Care and Evergreen use • EMD • Excel spreadsheet – e.g. for Supportive • Services (in your packet) • AIRS Data Collection

  41. Small Group Instructions: 20 minutes. • Take out information on pre-work and data elements in your packets. This is the same or similar information that was reviewed during pre-work webinars and during some site visits. • Select a group facilitator. • Review each measure and take notes on flip chart paper. • Tool 1: HIV Testing – Understood, able to collect data; identify issues, concerns, questions. • Tool 2a. Primary Care Global Retention – repeat…. • Tool 2b. Primary Care New Patient Retention – repeat… • Tool 3a. Clinical Engagement – repeat... • Tool 3b.
