The investigators identified HIV clinics using HIV surveillance data, and trained providers on RAPID procedures with both in-service training and individual provider detailing.
Providers and clinics that agreed to join the program were added to a RAPID provider directory, which was then given to linkage navigators that could use it to identify the optimal HIV clinic for each newly diagnosed patient, according to insurance coverage and psychosocial needs.
The full protocol and RAPID detailing brochure also were made available to clinicians at a website and were distributed at open quarterly consortium meetings.
Dr. Bacon presented HIV case registry data on care outcomes from 2013 to 2016.
