SLIDE 25 AIDS Healthcare Foundation Background
- The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) operates in 17 States (includes Washington D.C. &
Puerto Rico) and 43 countries.
- 1,072,988 patients are in care globally.
- There are 64 healthcare centers in the U.S.; 2 in Chicago (Hyde Park & South Loop)
- 48 AHF Pharmacies and 19 Out of the Closet Stores
SLIDE 26 Retention Efforts
- Poor retention is a barrier to all providers treating HIV/AIDS.
- To decrease viral suppression and overall health outcomes for patients, routine follow up care
is pertinent.
SLIDE 27 AHF’s 104 Report
- The 104 Report was created to reflect a list of patients on a provider’s patient panel that have
not been seen in 104 days.
- The Lead Client Retention Coordinator formulates a spreadsheet for each provider.
- On a monthly basis the report is placed on AHF’s system drive for each provider to access at
their convenience.
SLIDE 28 AHF’s 104 Report Continued
Page 1 of Report
medical information and contact information
- Prior to internal deadline,
providers are to call each patient on the spreadsheet.
SLIDE 29 AHF’s 104 Report Continued
Page 2 of Report Gives list of patients with basic labs, phone number(s), and outcome of contact.
SLIDE 30 Goal of 104 Report
- The goal of the 104 report is to place patients on the schedule for an upcoming appointment
aiding in the effort to decrease gaps in care.
- Rationale for the report is based on the patient/provider relationship.
- Hopefully with the provider reaching out to a patient, they get the feeling the provider cares
enough to check on them and personally schedule their next office visit.

Background It has been published that at least one-third of persons with known HIV infection in the United States are not engaged in care (Clin Inf Dis; 2007). The problem continues to exist today. Our Agency is no different in that we face this challenge. To address this issue, will take a multimodal approach that is flexible and adaptable.
SLIDE 54 SouthShore Hospital Wellness Ctr
Understanding Social Determinants that affect Client adherence.
- 1. Lack of trust in the Health system
- 2. Social support
- 3. Denial
- 4. Insurance
- 5. Transportation
- 6. Lack of reliable contact information
- 7. Unstable home situation
SLIDE 55 SouthShore Hospital Wellness Ctr
Our agency has evaluated industry standard ways to reduce the “no show phenom” and Improve client engagement
- 1. Automated Reminders
- 4. Use Multiple Reminders
- 2. Reducing wait times & time to appt.
- 5. Thanking Clients for keeping appt.
- 3. Incentives for appts kept.
- 6. Developing strong Relationships
It has been clear that to improve client engagement will and have taken a multilevel Approach with some innovation.
SLIDE 56 SouthShore Hospital Wellness Ctr
Traditional approaches
- 1. Phone calls
- 2. Letters
- 3. Reminder appointment cards
- 4. Utilizing community partners
- 5. Home visits
SLIDE 57 SouthShore Hospital Wellness Ctr
Phone calls * Making multiple calls to ensure accurate contact information and
developing a strong relationship
* Barrier to this route is the lack of reliable phone for clients Letters * Confirms the appt & reminds the patient especially of upcoming appt. * Barrier to this is unstable home situation. A significant client population
is transient and do not have stable home situations
SLIDE 58 SouthShore Hospital Wellness Ctr
Reminder cards * We began to hand out reminder cards with the month of the appt.
to schedule
* Barrier to this is that clients often misplace or lose or discard the
cards
Community partners * utilizing pharmacy & case managers to remind and engage clients * Barrier to this is that the partners often have contact information
that is no longer functional as well

- High rate of ART prescription in both genders and all racial/ethnic
groups
- High rate of viral suppression (VL < 200 copies/mL) in both genders
(>=85%) but slightly higher in men
- High rate of viral suppression in all racial/ethnic groups (>=83%),
lowest in Hispanic and Asian women
- Rate of moderate depression low, similar in women/men with
highest median score in Hispanic women
- Correlations limited by small samples sizes
SLIDE 95 NEXT STEPS
- Hispanic and Asian women could be a focus of future assessments
- Lower viral suppression rates
- Higher median scores for Hispanic women on PHQ-9
- Difficult to optimally study subgroups of women at LUMC given
relatively small patient population
SLIDE 96 Promoting Viral Suppression in Gay and Bisexual Men of Color
John Parisot, PhD, MSN, RN Nurse Educator Michael Reese Mercy Care Program CDPH Leaning Collaborative
SLIDE 97 Project Rationale
- Gay and Bisexual Men of Color was by far our highest demographic of patients
- If this model were to be successful in this population, we could possibly implement it
with our other focused populations
- Youth and Trans Women are our least numerous patients
- We have more Gay and Bisexual Men of Color than Black and Latino women
SLIDE 98 Project Design
- Use of data to drive the focus on our priority population
- Intensive monitoring of those Gay and Bisexual Men of Color who were not virally
suppressed during the timeframe (viral load > 200)
- Administration of short survey about knowledge of HIV viral load, challenges to
becoming undetectable, and U = U (Undetectable Equals Untransmittable)
- Compare those who were not virally suppressed at the beginning of the data collection
window period to those who became virally suppressed at the end of the data collection period
SLIDE 99 Data Collection
- Window of Data Collection: October 1, 2018-January 15, 2019
- Revision of data collection markers and parameters: Initially looked at any detectable
HIV viral load in 2018, then revised to anyone with a currently detectable HIV viral load
- Close review of whether or not data was actually representative of window of data
collection (in some cases last detectable HIV viral load was in 2017 from one data query)
- Administer survey and analyze the results; compare pre and post test
SLIDE 100 U = U Survey
- 1. Do you know/can you explain what an HIV viral load is?
- a. Yes
- b. No
- c. Maybe/Sort of
- 2. Is getting an undetectable HIV viral load a personal goal for you?
- a. Yes
- b. No
- c. Maybe/Sort of
- 3. What have been your challenges to getting an undetectable HIV viral load?
(qualitative narrative)
SLIDE 101 U = U Survey
- 4. Have you ever heard of U = U?
- a. Yes
- b. No
- c. Maybe/Sort of
- 5. Would knowing that Undetectable = Untransmittable be an additional motivation
for you to get an undetectable HIV viral load?
- a. Yes
- b. No
- c. Maybe/Sort of
SLIDE 102 Results (N = 16)
Yes No Maybe/Sort Of Do You Know What an HIV Viral Load Is ? 11 (69%) 2 (12.5%) 3 (19%) Is an Undetectable HIV Viral Load a Personal Goal of Yours? 15 (94%) 0 (0%) 1 (6%) Have You Ever Heard
U = U? 0 (0%) 16 (100%) 0 (0%) Would U = U Be an Additional Motivation for You to Get an UD HIV VL? 15 (94%) 1 (6%) 0 (0%)
SLIDE 103 Results
- Correlation is not causation
- Difficult to prove knowing U = U led to viral suppression, although the majority of respondents stated
that it would
- Small sample size and timeframe of implementation of the model makes results less reliable
- More than a quarter of respondents were not able to define an HIV viral load
- The majority of the respondents stated that becoming undetectable was a personal goal and that being
untransmittable would be an additional motivation
- Intensive monitoring of those who are not virally suppressed was useful
SLIDE 104 Results
- Challenges to An Undetectable HIV Viral Load
- “substance abuse, Rx drug coverage;” "life;” no insurance;” “don’t take my
health serious enough;” “mental health/depression;” “being young;” “consistency;” “mistrust of the medical system;” “low level viral load;” “taking meds the same time of day;” “transportation”
- During the window period, 5/20 gay and bisexual men of color became
undetectable, difficult to prove that it was as a result of the knowledge of U = U, but presumably would promote this as 100% of respondents reported that knowledge of U = U would be an additional motivation to becoming undetectable.
SLIDE 105 Limitations, Lessons Learned
- Structured monitoring of patients who are not virally suppressed is very effective
- Using data to track this outcome is very useful
- Repeated attempts to contact and intensive outreach of patients who are not virally
suppressed seems to be helpful (not always successful)
- Knowledge about U = U appears to promote viral suppression, based on self report
- f respondents
- Unable to test the hypothesis as effectively as would have liked given timeframe,
difficulty in showing that knowledge of U = U led directly to an UD HIV VL
SLIDE 106 Next Steps
- Sustainability
- Test behavior changes based on knowledge of U = U (will patients use condoms less,
- r is the benefit more psychosocial?)
- Implement intensive monitoring of all patients who are not currently virally
suppressed, and then continue to follow them until they are virally suppressed
- Continue to provide education about U = U in the hope that it will promote viral
suppression in all populations

QI Project Goal
▪ Reduce/eliminate disparities in viral load suppression among our client population
SLIDE 110
Priority Population
Focus on African American and Latina women Baseline 75.6% viral suppression rate ~ 52 clients not virally suppressed
SLIDE 111
- 1. Better and more formally track which clients are not
virally suppressed
- 2. Tailor messaging about adherence to specific barriers
that women living with HIV experience
- 3. Leverage the know-how of women living with HIV that
have successfully achieved virally suppression
Improvement Strategy Goals
SLIDE 112 Strategy 1: Improve tracking and response
▪ Formally and regularly generate a list of clients that are not virally suppressed ▪ Identify their next subsequent appointment ▪ If client misses their appointment, activate the outreach team right away to make contact and get them in for a medical visit
112
SLIDE 113 Strategy 2: Peer Mentor Program
113
Pilot program to pair women struggling with viral suppression with a peer mentor that has achieved viral suppression
- 6 weeks
- 7 pairs
- Contract
- Weekly contact & log
- Paid outing incentive
SLIDE 114 Strategy 3: Adherence Messaging & Tips from Peers
Desire to LIVE Thinking of loved ones, e.g. children, family, friends, and parents Creating goals – what would I like to accomplish before I check out? Developing an easy schedule – first thing in the morning
Setting alarms on clocks
reminders Having the appreciation for adherence in that, it helps me stay healthy
When you have struggled with adherence to medications, what have you thought about or done to get you through it?
SLIDE 115 Data and Lessons Learned (so far)
▪ Improve tracking and response
- Baseline data: 37 clients with VL 20-49,999 and 12 clients with VL
> 50,000, still collecting outcomes data
- Initial outreach is complete
- Assessing follow-up outcomes
▪ Peer Mentor Program
- Baseline VL among mentees ranged from 31 – 213,000, still
collecting outcomes data
- More structure is needed – group meeting with mentors at the
beginning and a midpoint check-in
- Track contact attempts and simplify tracking tool
- Offer certificate and recognition during long-term survivor’s event
to celebrate success

SLIDE 116 Next Steps
▪ Finish collecting outcomes data on tracking and peer mentorship pilots ▪ Present data to the ambulatory teams to brainstorm ▪ Continued integration of case management, outreach, and clinic staff ▪ Integrate adherence messaging/tips from peers into materials and provider conversations with clients
