Information Collection Request Title:
Providing Primary Care and
Preventative Medical Services in Ryan
White-funded Medical Care Settings:
OMB No. 0915–xxxx—New.
Abstract: Since Congress passed the
Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS
Resource Emergency (CARE) Act in
1990, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program (Ryan White Program) has
funded the provision of care eligible to
persons living with HIV (PLWH). Many
Ryan White-funded clinics have long

promoted the medical home model,
which involves the provision of
comprehensive and coordinated care
services, including prevention and other
non-medical care services to promote
access and adherence to HIV/AIDS
treatment. As PLWH live longer and
normal lives with effective antiretroviral
treatment, this model has become more
complex. In recent years, clinics
providing care to PLWH are also seeing
their patients develop other common
chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart
disease, and hypertension associated
with normal and aging populations.
Guidelines 1 on primary care for PLWH
have recently been released to help
providers navigate the integration of
primary and preventative care into HIV
care. With already limited budgets,
staffing and other resources, Ryan
White-funded clinics may struggle to
provide primary and preventative care
services in-house or have insufficient
referral systems. However, under the
Affordable Care Act, most PLWH can
obtain more affordable health insurance
which can alleviate some burden on

clinics and improve accessibility to
primary and preventative care services.
This study will examine how Ryan
White-funded clinics are integrating the
provision of primary and preventative
care services to the overall HIV care
model. Specifically, it will look at the
protocols and strategies used by clinics
to manage care for PLWH, specifically
care coordination, referral systems, and
patient-centered strategies to keep
PLWH in care.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The proposed study will
provide the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau
(HAB) and policymakers with a better
understanding of how the Ryan White
Program currently provides primary and
preventative care to PLWH. The first
online survey will be targeted to clinic
directors from a sample of about 160
Ryan White-funded clinics and will
collect data on care models used;
primary care services, including
preventative services; and coordination
of care. Data collected from this survey
will provide a general overview of the
various HIV care models used as well as
insight to possible facilitators and
barriers to providing primary and
preventative care services. More indepth data collection will be conducted
with a smaller number of 30 clinics
representing clinic type (publicly
funded community health organization,
other community-based organization,
health department, and hospital or
university-based) and size. There will be
three data collection instruments used:
(1) An online survey completed by three
clinicians at each of the clinics
(clinician survey); (2) a data extraction
of select primary and preventative care
services; and (3) a telephone interview
with the medical director. The clinician
survey will provide a more in-depth
look at the clinic protocols and
strategies and how they are being used
and implemented by the clinicians. The
data extraction will provide quantitative
information on the provision of select
primary and preventative care services
within a certain time period. With these
data, the study team can assess the
accuracy of information provided in the
online surveys on the provision of care
as well as the frequency at which
primary and preventative care
screenings are provided. Lastly, the
interviews with the medical director
will allow the study team to follow-up
on the results of the clinician survey
and data extraction and collect
qualitative data and more in-depth
details on the provision of primary and
preventative care services from a clinic
wide perspective, specifically any
facilitators and barriers.
These data will provide HAB the
background to make informed policies
and changes to the Ryan White Program
in this new era when the well-being of
PLWH demands a more complex and
long-term HIV care model.
Likely Respondents: Clinics funded
by the Ryan White Program.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expanded by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
