HRSA 19-039: Improving Ryan White Outcomes Using a Tiered Technical System Approach to HIV-STI Data Linkages

Background:

The HRSA 19-039 program provides technical assistance to participating jurisdictions in areas that improve HIV-STI data linkage and coordination for the purposes of enhancing data utility for engaging PLWH, specifically among Ryan White clients. Technical assistance for this program includes data management, data visualization, business process development, and communication/collaboration enhancement. Georgetown University developed tailored technical assistance plans for each of the four participating based on a preliminary needs assessment. These plans are continuously updated to accommodate shifting needs and priorities.
