DEFINITION OF MAI AND PURPOSE IDENTIFY TYPES OF MAI PROGRAMS IDENTIFY PLANNING COUNCIL’S ROLE IN ALLOCATION DISPARITIES IN HIV DIAGNOSIS IN THE EMA FROM BPHC – MAI PRESENT AND FUTURE!

ORIGINATED IN 1998

RESPONSE TO THE HIGH IMPACT OF HIV ON RACIAL & ETHNIC MINORITIES + CAPACITY AND CREATE MORE ACCESS FOR SERVICES IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR Maxine Waters, (D) CA

Key Points

Additionally, can highlight specific interventions – Red Carpet Entry, Mobile Outreach Van, Data to Care Program For example, MAI Medical Case Management, MAI Linguistics MAI allocated to the same Part A allowable categories

Improve workforce capacity Improve access to HIV prevention and care programs for racial and ethnic minorities Create opportunities for cross collaboration among providers Interventions that promote positive health

• utcomes for minorities

Boston EMA 2018:

• Blacks make up 7% of population |

31% of new infections | 32% of

• verall infections
• Hispanics make up 11% of the

population | 25% of new | 22% overall infections

Emphasis on Health Disparities

Communities of color still represent the majority of new HIV infections, AIDS cases, and AIDS-related deaths in the United States.

Subpopulations, such as African- American women and black men who have sex with men, experience higher rates of

• infection. By designating MAI

funds towards higher-risk subpopulations, this will help to curb HIV transmission among such communities.

Equity Continuum

• Minorities face challenges entering, engaging in

and being retained in care.

• Stigma is a major barrier to care
• Fear of public charge can affect health
• utcomes – new and developing barrier
• Healthcare systems by design are challenging

for people that depend on them

• 1. Which parts of the care continuum are challenging for minorities?
• 2. What services do people need to re-enter care?
• 3. What services are missing or lacking in capacity in the EMA?

Standards of Care

SARAH KURUVILLA, RWSD

FY 2020 STANDARDS OF CARE

SARAH KURUVILLA, RYAN WHITE SERVICES DIVISION

PURPOSE

The Boston EMA Standards of Care provide guidelines for Part A-funded agencies on how to implement each funded service category. This blueprint for how both core and support services are managed in the EMA promotes clear, efficient parameters for vital resources. The Ryan White Services Division collaborates with Planning Council to draft the document before implementation in the community.

Example: Medical Nutrition Therapy

• Definition: Nutrition assessment and

evaluation, dietary supplements, education and counseling.

• Guidance: Services provided by a licensed

dietician, by referral

• Goal: Increase immunity, reduce nutritional

deficiencies

• Objectives: Identify and treat nutritional

deficiencies through counseling and provision of food/supplements

HOW ARE THE STANDARDS ORGANIZED?

 Each service category has:

 Definition  Guidance  Goal  Objective

FOLLOWED BY MEASURES

STANDARDS ENSURE UNIFORMITY



Standards are used to monitor and evaluate programs



Standards ensure that a client will receive similar quality services regardless of location or agency
