Reduction in Disparities in HIV Care

GOAL: To assure that all patients receive the same level of quality services and resulting health outcomes regardless of their exposure category, race/ethnicity, gender, age or economic status.

This section assesses the program’s ability to ensure that all patients, regardless of their exposure category, race/ethnicity, gender, age, or economic status, receive the same level of quality care. To achieve equity in quality and outcomes for all patients, a system for consistent review of data stratified by these factors and evidence of actions taken for any disparities identified would be needed.

G.2. To what extent does the HIV program measure disparities in care and patient outcomes and use performance data to improve care to eliminate or mitigate discernible disparities? Each score requires completion of all items in that level and all lower levels (except any items in level 0).
Getting started	0	Performance measures/data: No clinical performance results are routinely reviewed or used to address disparities.
Planning and initiation	1	Performance measures/data: Are stratified for analysis of disparities by gender, age, socioeconomic status (SES), risk factor, geography, etc.
Beginning implementation	2	Performance measures/data: Are used to identify disparities. Are used to plan improvement strategies.
Implementation	3	Performance measures/data: Are used to develop and implement general improvement strategies.
Progress toward systematic approach to quality	4	Performance measures/data: Are used to develop and implement general and targeted improvement strategies based on data analysis. Demonstrate some evidence of improvement of outcomes for identified disparities.
Full systematic approach to quality management in place	5	Performance measures/data: Demonstrate sustained evidence of improvement of outcomes for identified disparities.
