Improving Linkage, Retention, and Reengagement in HIV Care in 12 Metropolitan Areas.
Health Promotion Practice 2018 September
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed the Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning (ECHPP) project to support 12 health departments' improvement of their HIV prevention and care portfolios in response to new national guidelines. We systematically analyzed 3 years of progress reports to learn how grantees put into practice local intervention strategies intended to link people to, and keep them in, HIV care. All grantees initiated seven activities to support these strategies: (1) improve surveillance data systems, (2) revise staffing duties and infrastructures, (3) update policies and procedures, (4) establish or strengthen partnerships, (5) identify persons not in care, (6) train personnel, and (7) create ways to overcome obstacles to receiving care. Factors supporting ECHPP grantee successes were thorough planning, attention to detail, and strong collaboration among health department units, and between the health department and external stakeholders. Other jurisdictions may consider adopting similar strategies when planning and enhancing HIV linkage, retention, and reengagement efforts in their areas. ECHPP experiences, lessons learned, and best practices may be relevant when applying new public health policies that affect community and health care practices jurisdiction-wide.
