Overview of HAB Performance Measures TOP |
The HAB HIV/AIDS Core Clinical Performance Measures for Adults & Adolescents are being released in phases to allow for staged implementation. Listed below are Group 1 and Group 2 Measures. If a clinical program has no performance measures, Group 1 measures provide an excellent start and can serve as a foundation on which to build. Group 2 measures are important measures for a robust clinical management program and should be seriously considered. The measures can be used by all programs funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program and can be used either at the provider or system level. Grantees are encouraged to include the core clinical performance measures in their quality management plans. While data are not required to be submitted to HAB at this time, grantees are strongly encouraged to track and trend data on these measures to monitor the quality of care provided. Grantees are encouraged to identify areas for improvement and to include these in their quality management plans. This type of information can provide rich discussion opportunities with HAB Project Officers.
To assist grantees in the use and implementation of the core clinical performance measures, a reference guide has been developed: HAB HIV Core Clinical Performance Measures for Adults & Adolescents: Companion Guide.
HAB is extremely interested in receiving feedback regarding the core clinical performance measures, particularly as it relates to the use of the measures. If you have any information you would like to share in regards to the utility, suggestions for improvement or examples of how the information has been used, please send an e-mail to HIVmeasures@hrsa.gov.
