Introduction

Who Completes the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Data Report?

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Data Report should be completed by all Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part A, Part B, Part C, Part D, including the Adolescent Initiative, and Part F (MAI) funded grantees, service providers, and Part B consortia.

Grantee of record is the official Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grantee that receives Federal funding directly from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This agency may be the the provider agency or may be the agency that contracts with other agencies to provide RWHAP services.

The service provider is the agency that provides direct services to clients and their families and is funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. Services may be directly funded by one or more Parts of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program or through subcontract(s) with official Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grantees of record.

If the only services you provided during this reporting period were (1) planning or evaluation, (2) administrative or technical support, (3) fiscal intermediary services, (4) technical assistance, (5) capacity development, or (6) quality management, please complete Section 1, Items 1–16 only.

Providers who receive funds under more than one Part should complete this form ONLY once. Include information from all Parts under which you are funded.

Which clients should be included in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Data Report?

Providers should report data on all clients who received services eligible for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A, B, C, D, including Adolescent Initiative funding, and/or Part F (MAI) regardless of the actual funding source used to pay for those services.

Grantees and providers that choose to report only on the subset of clients who received funded services from any Part of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program must have special permission from their HRSA Project Officer (See Section 1.2: Reporting scope for more information).

All information reported on clients and service delivery should reflect the calendar year reporting period.

The reporting period may be shorter than a year if a provider agency did not receive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding for an entire calendar year. In this case, the beginning or end dates of the reporting period should reflect the exact time period in the calendar year during which services were delivered to clients. For example, the reporting period for a provider whose contract began on April 1 would be April 1–December 31. Similarly, the reporting period for a provider whose contract was effective on January 1 but discontinued on June 30, would be January 1–June 30.

Reporting scope

Indicate the reporting scope for the collection of the data in this report Select only one response.

Scope 01: ALL clients receiving a service ELIGIBLE under the Part for which the grantee is funded (which varies by Part A, B, C, D, and F (MAI) funding).

Explanation: Reporting scope for providers reporting ELIGIBLE services. Data are based on all services that are eligible for funding from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A, B, C, D, and F (MAI).

Please refer to Section 3, Item 33 for a complete list of ELIGIBLE service categories.

Under the ELIGIBLE reporting scope, clients receiving any service eligible for Ryan White Part A, B, C, D, or F (MAI) funding are included in the report even if the service was not paid for with Ryan White Part A, B, C, D, or F (MAI) funds.

Scope 02: ONLY clients receiving a Part A, B, C, D, or F (MAI) FUNDED service.

Explanation: Reporting scope for providers reporting FUNDED clients. Data are based on clients whose services are paid for by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A, B, C, D, and/or F (MAI).

Under the FUNDED scope, only clients receiving services paid for exclusively with Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A, B, C, D, and/or F (MAI) funds are included in the report. Typically, this is a subset of the eligible reporting scope. Providers using the funded-only reporting scope must:

Have an adequate mechanism for tracking clients and services by funding stream;
Have secured prior approval from their grantee in consultation with their HRSA project officer; and
Report actual numbers of clients and services not estimates.

Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) funding

Indicate whether or not the organization received MAI funds during the reporting period.

MAI is a national HHS initiative that provides special resources to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS and to improve health outcomes for people living with HIV disease within communities of color. This initiative was enacted to address the disproportionate impact of the disease in such communities. It was formerly referred to as the Congressional Black Caucus Initiative because of that body's leadership in its development.

Source of funding

Check the provider agency’s source(s) of funding under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A, B, C, D, and F (MAI). Check all that apply. This item includes funding that is received directly from the Federal Government (grantee), through a subcontract with a Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grantee (service provider), through Part B funding to a consortium, or through Part F (MAI) funds distributed by a Part A or Part B grantee. For Part F (MAI) funds, check the Part A or B grantee from which the provider received MAI funds. For each source of funding checked, please also indicate the name of each grantee from whom funding was received. If you are the grantee of record please enter the name of your agency next to the appropriate funding source.

Data Quality Check
An association between the provider and grantee of record should exist for each source of funding reported in Item 10.

For each source of funding checked in Item 10, the amount of funding expended must be reported in Items 11–14.

Part A of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program provides direct financial assistance to designated Eligible Metropolitan Areas (EMAs) and Transitional Grant Areas (TGAs). The purpose of these funds is to deliver or enhance HIV-related core medical services, including medical case management, pharmaceutical assistance, and home health care; and support services, including non-medical case management, outreach, testing, respite care, and referrals. Seventy-five percent of funds must support core medical services.

Part B of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program authorizes the distribution of Federal funds to States and Territories to improve the quality, availability, and organization of health care and support services for individuals with HIV disease and their families. It also funds AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) grants, and Emerging Community (EC) grants. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program emphasizes that such care and support be part of a continuum of care in which all the needs of individuals with HIV disease and their families are coordinated. The funds are distributed to States and Territories. Seventy-five percent of funds must support core medical services.

Part C EIS of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program provides support for early intervention services, including preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic services for HIV/AIDS clients. This specifically includes a continuum of comprehensive primary health care, referrals for specialty care, counseling and testing, outreach, case management and eligibility assistance. Seventy-five percent of funds must support core medical services.

Part D of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program supports coordinated services for women, infants, children, and youth with HIV disease and their affected family members. The Adolescent Initiative is a separate grant under the Part D program that is aimed at identifying adolescents who are HIV-positive and enrolling them in care.

I tem 10 is pre-populated in the online form. The sources of funding listed are based on the associations reported by grantees during Provider List Verification. If you received funding from a Ryan White Program that is not listed, please contact your grantee of record and ask them to add your agency to its provider list. Likewise, if your agency is NOT funded by a Ryan White Program shown in Item 10, contact the grantee and ask them to remove your agency from its provider list.

Part A funding

Part D MAI funding

Of the amount of Part D funding (indicated on the line above), provide the amount received from the MAI. If you do not know or do not receive funding from the MAI, report “0.”

Data Quality Check
For each amount of funding reported in Items 11‑14, the corresponding funding source must be checked in Item 10.

NOTE: The amount of money spent during the calendar year (January 1 – December 31) should be reported, regardless of the timing of the fiscal year(s). Ideally, report the actual amount spent during the calendar year.

If you are unable to report the actual amount, it is acceptable to annualize the funding spent. See the following example.

Oral health care expenditures

Indicate the total amount of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funds expended (rounded to the nearest dollar) on oral health care during the reporting period. If no funds were spent, report “0” in the space provided. Do not include Part F (Dental Reimbursement or Community Based Dental Partnership) oral health expenditures here. These data are included in a separate report.

Service provided to grantee of record

For each of the six services listed, indicate whether the service was provided to the grantee of record by the service provider by checking “Yes” or “No” for each item. If the grantee of record is the service provider, indicate whether the service was provided by checking “Yes” or “No” for each item.

NOTE: If any of these services were the only services provided with Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding, stop here and do not complete the remainder of this form. Third-party administrators who process fee-for-service reimbursements to providers of eligible services should continue with Item 17a.

Planning or evaluation services are the systematic (orderly) collection of information about the characteristics, activities, and outcomes of services or programs in order to assess the extent to which objectives have been achieved, to identify needed improvements, and/or to make decisions about future programming.

Administrative or technical support services are the provision of qualitative and responsive “support services” to an organization. Services may include human resources, financial management, and administrative services (e.g., property management, warehousing, printing/publications, libraries, claims, medical supplies, and conference/training facilities).

Fiscal intermediary services are the provision of administrative services to the grantee of record by a pass-through organization. The responsibility of these organizations may include the following: determine the eligibility of RWHAP recipients; decide how funds are allocated to recipients; award RWHAP funds to recipients; monitor recipients for compliance with RWHAP specific requirements; and complete required reports.

Technical assistance services are identifying the need for and the delivery of practical program and technical support to the RWHAP community. These services should help grantees, planning bodies, and affected communities to design, implement, and evaluate RWHAP-supported planning and primary care service delivery systems.

Capacity development services are services to help develop a set of core competencies that in turn help an organization develop effective HIV health care services, including the quality, quantity, and cost-effectiveness of such services. These competencies also sustain the infrastructure and resource base necessary to develop and support these services. Core competencies include: management of program finances; effective HIV service delivery, including quality assurance; personnel management and board development; resource development, including preparation of grant applications to obtain resources and purchase of supplies/equipment; service evaluation; and cultural competency development.

Quality management services comprise a systematic process with identified leadership, accountability, and dedicated resources that uses data and measurable outcomes to determine progress toward relevant, evidence-based benchmarks. Quality management programs should also focus on linkages, efficiencies, and provider and client expectations in addressing outcome improvement, and they need to adapt to change. The process is continuous and should fit within the framework of other program quality assurance and quality improvement activities, such as Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and Medicaid. Data collected as part of this process should be fed back into the quality management process to assure that goals are accomplished and outcomes improved.

Quality management is a continuous process to improve the degree to which a health or social service meets or exceeds established professional standards and user expectations. The purpose of a quality management program is to ensure that: (a) services adhere to PHS guidelines and established clinical practice; (b) program improvements include supportive services; (c) supportive services are linked to access and adherence to medical care; and (d) demographic, clinical, and utilization data are used to evaluate and address characteristics of the local epidemic. (For further information on quality management of the RWHAP, refer to the Technical Assistance Manual available at http://hab.hrsa.gov/tools/QM/index.htm.)

a. ADAP or other APA program

Indicate whether the provider agency administered an AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) or a Local AIDS Pharmaceutical Assistance (APA) program during the reporting period.If your answer is “Yes,” continue with Item 17b. If your answer is “No,” skip to Item 18.

ADAP is typically a centrally administered program operated at the State level that receives Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B ADAP-earmarked and Part B base funds. The State ADAP may also receive contributions from other Ryan White HIV/AIDS Programs. Other AIDS Pharmaceutical Assistance programs typically operate at the local EMA/TGA) or consortia level. Funds for these programs may come from a variety of sources that are not federally earmarked for AIDS medications. These may include Part A and private sources.

ADAP is a State-administered program authorized under Part B of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program that provides FDA-approved medications to low-income individuals with HIV disease who have limited or no coverage from private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare.

Local AIDS pharmaceutical assistance (APA, not ADAP) includes local pharmacy assistance programs implemented by Part A or Part B Grantees to provide HIV/AIDS medications to clients. This assistance can be funded with Part A grant funds and/or Part B base award funds. These organizations may or may not provide other services (e.g., primary care or case management) to the clients that they serve through a RWHAP contract with their grantee.

Programs are considered APAs if they provide HIV/AIDS medications to clients and meet all of the following criteria:

Have a client enrollment process;
Have uniform benefits for all enrolled clients;
Have a record system for distributed medications; and
Have a drug distribution system.

Programs are not APAs if they dispense medications in one of the following situations:

As a result or as a component of a primary medical visit;
On an emergency basis (defined as a single occurrence of short duration); or
By giving vouchers to a client to procure medications.

Local APAs are similar to AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) in that they provide medications for the treatment of HIV disease. However, local APAs are not paid for with Part B funds “earmarked” for ADAP.

Type of pharmaceutical program

If your agency administered an ADAP or a Local APA program, specify the program type:

State ADAP; or
Local APA program.

If the only program you administered was a State ADAP, STOP HERE. If you administered a Local APA continue to complete the data report.

Data Quality Check
If Local APA program is checked in Item 17b, Item 33b, Local AIDS Pharmaceutical Assistance must also be checked.

Health Insurance Program (HIP) assistance

Indicate whether or not you provided health insurance through HIP (with Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funds) during the reporting period. If this was the only service you provided with Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding, skip to Section 7. Health insurance paid for with ADAP funds is not considered HIP.

HIP is a program that makes premium payments, co-payments, deductibles, or risk pool payments on behalf of a client to keep his or her private health insurance active.

Data Quality Check
If HIP is checked in Item 18, Item 33e, Health Insurance Premium & Cost Sharing Assistance, must also be checked and Section 7 must be completed.

Target population

Check the box next to each population group that the program specifically targeted (i.e., set as a goal to achieve and directly allocated funds to support) for outreach efforts or service delivery during the reporting period. The program caseload of clients who are HIV-positive may not be entirely representative of the target populations indicated. If other populations that are not listed here were targeted, check “Other.”

Target population is a population to be reached through some action or intervention; may refer to groups with specific demographic or geographic characteristics.

Minority group membership of agency

Check the categories that best describe your agency. Check all that apply.

Total paid staff

Report the number of paid staff, in full-time equivalents (FTEs) that were funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program during this reporting period. See the text box on the following page for information on how to calculate FTEs.

Total volunteer staff

Report the total number of volunteer staff (at all sites within your overall program) in full-time equivalent positions dedicated to HIV care during the reporting period. See the text box on this page for information on how to calculate FTEs.

How to calculate FTEs

Step One: Count each staff member who works full-time (generally 35–40 hours per week) on HIV/AIDS care as one FTE. Full-time employees who regularly work overtime should not be counted as more than one FTE.

If a percentage of each staff member’s time is being funded by Parts A, B, C, D, and/or F (MAI), simply add the percentages to calculate the total. For example: Physician .50 FTE, Nurse Practitioner 1.0 FTE, Dentist .20 FTE, Case Manager .75 FTE, Counseling & Testing 1.0 FTE = 3.45 FTEs.

Step Two: Identify the staff members who do not work full-time on HIV/AIDS care (e.g., part-time employees or full-time employees who spend only a portion of their time in HIV/AIDS care), and sum the weekly hours they spend in HIV/AIDS care. Divide this number by your agency’s definition of full-time (e.g., 40 hours per week).

Step Three: Add the FTEs calculated in steps one and two. This sum is the number of FTEs you should report.

Section 2. Client Information

This section should be completed by all agencies that provide services directly to clients and are funded through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A, B, C, D, and F (MAI). Record numbers separately for infected and affected clients served during the reporting period.

Clients in this section include your infected and affected population, whether receiving core or support services.

Infected clients include individuals who were HIV-positive and who received at least one Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-eligible service during the reporting period.

Indeterminate clients include children under age 2, born to mothers who were HIV-infected, and whose HIV status is not yet definite.

Affected clients include individuals who were HIV-negative as well as those with unknown HIV status. An affected client is a family member or partner who received at least one Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program support service during the reporting period. This individual must be linked to an infected client who is currently receiving services from your agency.

Family members include children, partners, biological parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, grandparents, other caregivers, and siblings (who may or may not be living with HIV).

In Section 2, and all other sections of the Data Report, check “Unknown” boxes or report “Unknown” counts only when necessary. If you report more than 10 percent of your clients with an unknown age, race/ethnicity, or HIV status (medical providers), you should examine your data collection system to determine how it can be improved to reduce this percentage.

Remember your reporting scope. If you chose reporting scope “01” on page 1, Item 6, provide information on all clients who received services eligible for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding, whether funded by a Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grant or other funding source. If you chose reporting scope “02” on page 1, Item 6, (with the permission of the HRSA Project Officer) include only those clients who received services funded by Parts A, B, C, D, and/or F (MAI).

Total number of unduplicated clients

In each respective category report the total number of individuals receiving at least one Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-eligible service during the reporting period. To obtain an unduplicated client count, an individual receiving multiple units of service must be counted only once. Anonymous clients should not be reflected in this total.

Unduplicated client count is an accounting of clients in which a single individual is counted only once. For providers with multiple sites, a client is only counted once, even if he or she receives services at more than one of the provider’s sites.

Total number of new clients

Report the number of unduplicated clients whose first receipt of services from the provider agency occurred during this reporting period. Clients served anonymously should not be considered new clients and should not be reported in this item.

New client is an individual who received services from a provider for the first time ever during this reporting period. Individuals who return for care after an extended absence are not considered new unless past records of their care are not available.

Data Quality Check
The total number of new clients reported in Item 24 must be less than or equal to the total number of clients reported in Item 23 by category.

NOTE: The total number of new clients reported in Item 23 should only be equal to the total number of clients in Item 24 if the agency is newly funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.

Gender of clients

Report the actual unduplicated numbers of male, female, and transgender clients (this item should be based on the self-report of the client), and the number of clients for whom gender is unknown or unreported. Include infants under the age of 2 whose HIV status is indeterminate in the HIV-positive/indeterminate column. Do not include any anonymous clients in these counts.

Data Quality Check
The total number of clients who are HIV-positive/indeterminate and affected, reported in Item 25, must equal the total number of clients who are HIV-positive, HIV-indeterminate, and HIV-affected, reported in Item 23.

Transgender is an individual whose gender identity is not congruent with his or her biological gender, regardless of the status of surgical and hormonal gender reassignment processes. Sometimes the term is used as an umbrella term encompassing transsexuals, transvestites, cross-dressers, and others. The term transgender refers to a continuum of gender expressions, identities, and roles, which expand the current dominant cultural values of what it means to be male or female.

Age of clients

Report the actual unduplicated number of clients in each age group using client ages at the end of the reporting period. Include infants under the age of 2, whose HIV status is indeterminate, in the HIV-positive/indeterminate column. Do not include any anonymous clients in these counts.

Data Quality Check
The total number of HIV-positive/indeterminate and HIV-affected clients reported in Item 26 must equal the total number of HIV-positive, HIV-indeterminate, and HIV-affected clients reported in Item 23.

Race and ethnicity of clients

Based on the client’s self-report, report the number of unduplicated clients by race and ethnicity, Hispanic (27a) or non-Hispanic (27b).

If clients report race, but not ethnicity, report them in the appropriate race category in the non-Hispanic table (27b). Similarly, if clients report their ethnicity as Hispanic, but do not report race, report them in the “Not reported” race category in the Hispanic table (27a). Clients who report neither race nor ethnicity should be included in the “Not reported” race category and in the non-Hispanic table (27b). Do not include any anonymous clients in these counts. All clients who identify with more than one race should be included in the “More than one race” category and in either the Hispanic (27a) or non-Hispanic (27b) table.

The following racial category descriptions, defined in October 1997, are required for all Federal reporting, as mandated by the Office of Management and Budget. For more information go to:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg/1997standards.html).

Subcontractors render care to clients referred to them by the grantee organization and are reimbursed for their services or otherwise have a remunerative relationship with the grantee for the referred service.

Outside the EIS Program is a referral made to a provider that (1) is not part of the grantee organization; (2) does not have a contractual relationship with the grantee; and (3) does not receive reimbursement from the Part C grantee or its parent organization.

It is not necessary to indicate how many clients received each service or how many client visits were made to obtain each service. All the services you have indicated may not have been utilized during the reporting period. However, the services you have indicated should have been available if a client had required them within the EIS program and/or through referral. If services other than those listed here were available, check “Other services.” See list below for description of services.

Description of services:

Outpatient/ambulatory medical care includes the provision of professional diagnostic and therapeutic services rendered by a physician, physician's assistant, clinical nurse specialist, nurse practitioner or other health care professional who is certified in their jurisdiction to prescribe ARV therapy in an outpatient setting.

ADAP	AIDS Drug Assistance Program—A State-administered program authorized under Part B of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program that provides FDA-approved medications to low-income individuals with HIV/AIDS disease who have limited or no coverage from private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare.
ADAP Flexibility Policy	HIV/AIDS Bureau’s (HAB) Policy Notice 00-02 provides grantees greater flexibility in the use of ADAP funds and permits expenditures of ADAP funds for services that improve access to medications, increase adherence to medication regimens, and help clients monitor their progress in taking HIV-related medications. NOTE: Grantees must request in writing to use ADAP dollars for services other than medications.
Administrative or technical support	The provision of qualitative and responsive “support services” to an organization. Services may include human resources, financial management and administrative services (e.g., property management, warehousing, printing/publications, libraries, claims, medical supplies, and conference/training facilities).
Affected client	A family member or partner of an infected client who receives at least one Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program support service during the reporting period.
Agency reporting for multiple fee-for-service provider	An agency that reports data for more than one fee-for-service provider.
Aggregate data	Combined data, composed of multiple elements, often from multiple sources. For example, combining demographic data about clients from all primary care providers in a service area generates aggregate data about client characteristics.
AIDS	Acquired immune deficiency syndrome—A disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus.
American Indian or Alaska Native	An individual having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment.
Anonymous individual	No identifying information is collected from the individual.
APA	AIDS Pharmaceutical Assistance—A local pharmacy assistance program implemented by a Part A EMA/TGA), a Part B State, or a Part C agency. The Part B grantee consortium or Part A planning council contracts with one or more organizations to provide HIV/AIDS medications to clients. These organizations may or may not provide other services (e.g., primary care, case management) to the clients that they serve through a Ryan White (or other funding sources) contract with their grantee.
ARV	Antiretroviral—A substance that fights against a retrovirus, such as HIV. (See retrovirus)

Black or African American	An individual having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.
Capacity development	A set of core competencies that contribute to an organization’s ability to develop effective HIV health care services, including the quality, quantity, and cost effectiveness of such services. These competencies also sustain the infrastructure and resource base necessary to develop and support these services. Core competencies include: management of program finances; effective HIV service delivery, including quality assurance; personnel management and board development; resource development, including preparation of grant applications to obtain resources and purchase of supplies/equipment; service evaluation; and cultural competency development.
Case management services (medical)	(See medical case management services)
Case management services (non-medical)	Includes the provision of advice and assistance in obtaining medical, social, community, legal, financial, and other needed services. Non-medical case management does not involve coordination and follow-up of medical treatments.
CD4 cell count	The number of T-helper lymphocytes per cubic millimeter of blood. The CD4 count is a good predictor of immunity. As CD4 cell count declines, the risk of developing opportunistic infections increases. The normal range for CD4 cell counts is 500 to 1,500 per cubic millimeter of blood. CD4 counts should be rechecked at least every 6 to 12 months if CD4 counts are greater than 500/mm³. If the count is lower, testing every 3 months is advised. A CD4 count of 200 or less indicates AIDS.
CD4 or CD4+ cells	Also known as “helper” T-cells, these cells are responsible for coordinating much of the immune response. HIV’s preferred targets are cells that have a docking molecule called “cluster designation 4” (CD4) on their surfaces. Cells with this molecule are known as CD4-positive (CD4+) cells. Destruction of CD4+ lymphocytes is the major cause of the immunodeficiency observed in AIDS, and decreasing CD4 levels appear to be the best indicator for developing opportunistic infections.
CDC	Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—The DHHS agency that administers HIV/AIDS prevention programs, including the HIV Prevention Community Planning process, among other programs. The CDC is responsible for monitoring and reporting infectious diseases, administers AIDS surveillance grants, and publishes epidemiologic reports such as the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report.

Reporting period	A calendar year, January 1 through December 31 of the reporting year. The reporting period may be shorter than a year if a provider agency did not receive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding for an entire calendar year.
Reporting scope	Scope 01 is the reporting scope for providers reporting ELIGIBLE services. Under the ELIGIBLE reporting scope, clients receiving any service eligible for Ryan White Parts A, B, C, D, and F (MAI) funding are included in the report even if the service was not paid for with Ryan White Parts A, B, C, D, and F (MAI) funds. This reporting scope is preferred by HRSA. Scope 02 is the reporting scope for providers reporting FUNDED clients. Under the FUNDED scope, only clients receiving services paid for exclusively with Ryan White A, B, C, D, and F (MAI) funds are included in the report. Typically, this is a subset of the eligible reporting scope. Providers using the funded-only reporting scope must have an adequate mechanism for tracking clients and services by funding stream and have secured prior approval from their grantee in consultation with HRSA.
Respite care	The provision of community or home-based, non-medical assistance designed to relieve the primary caregiver responsible for providing day-to-day care of a client with HIV/AIDS.
Retrovirus	A type of virus that, when not infecting a cell, stores its genetic information on a single-stranded RNA molecule instead of the more usual double-stranded DNA. HIV is an example of a retrovirus. After a retrovirus penetrates a cell, it constructs a DNA version of its genes using a special enzyme, reverse transcriptase. This DNA then becomes part of the cell’s genetic material.
Risk factor or risk behavior/exposure category	Behavior or other factor that places an individual at risk for disease. For HIV/AIDS, this includes such factors as male-to-male sexual contact, injection drug use, and commercial sex work.
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program	The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006—The Federal legislation created to address the health care and service needs of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) disease and their families in the United States and its Territories. The newly enacted law changes how Ryan White funds can be used, with an emphasis on providing life-saving and life-extending services for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Section 330 of PHSA	Supports the development and operation of community health centers that provide preventive and primary health care services, supplemental health and support services, and environmental health services to medically underserved areas/populations.
Self-pay	A client pays out of pocket for the majority of his or her health care costs.
Solo/group private medical practice	Includes all health and health-related private non-profit practitioners and practice groups.
SPNS	Special Projects of National Significance—A health services demonstration, research, and evaluation program funded under Part F of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. SPNS projects are awarded competitively.
STI	Sexually transmitted infection—Infections spread by the transfer of organisms from person to person during sexual contact.
Substance abuse services–residential	The provision of treatment to address substance abuse problems (including alcohol and/or legal and illegal drugs) in a residential health service setting (short-term). NOTE: Part C programs are not eligible to provide Substance abuse services–residential.
Substance abuse services–outpatient	The provision of medical or other treatment and/or counseling to address substance abuse problems (i.e., alcohol and/or legal and illegal drugs) in an outpatient setting rendered by a physician or under the supervision of a physician, or by other qualified personnel.
Substance abuse treatment center	An agency that focuses on the delivery of substance abuse treatment services.
Target population	A population to be reached through some action or intervention; may refer to groups with specific demographic or geographic characteristics.
Taxpayer ID #	The unique nine-digit number issued to an organization or agency by the Internal Revenue Service for use in connection with filing requirements. This may be the same as your Employer Identification Number (EIN).
TB blood test (QuantiFERON-TB^® Gold)	A blood test used to detect latent infection with TB bacteria. The QFT-G measures the response to TB proteins when they are mixed with a small amount of blood.
TB skin test (PPD Mantoux)	The abbreviation for purified protein derivative (PPD), a substance used in intradermal testing for tuberculosis.
Technical assistance or TA	The identification of need for and delivery of practical program and technical support to the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program community. TA should assist grantees, planning bodies, and affected communities in designing, implementing, and evaluating Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program supported planning and primary care service delivery systems.
Total client-months	A calculation obtained by adding together the number of months that a premium, deductible, or co-pay was made for each unduplicated client. (e.g., If an agency pays the premiums for Client A’s insurance for 12 months and Client B’s insurance for 8 months, the total client-months equals 20 months.)
Transgender	An individual who exhibits the appearance and behavioral characteristics of the opposite sex.
Transmission category	A grouping of disease exposure and infection routes. In relation to HIV disease, exposure groupings include injection drug use, men who have sex with men, heterosexual contact, perinatal transmission, etc.
Treatment adherence counseling	Provision of counseling or special programs to ensure readiness for, and adherence to, complex HIV/AIDS treatments by non-medical personnel outside of the medical case management and clinical setting.
Unduplicated client count	An accounting of clients in which a single individual is counted only once. For providers with multiple sites, a client is only counted once, even if he or she receives services at more than one of the providers’ sites.
URN	Unique record number—A nine-digit encrypted record number following HRSA’s URN specifications that distinguishes the client from all other clients and that is the same for the client across all provider settings. The URN is constructed using the first letter of the first name, the third letter of the first name (if blank use middle initial, if no middle initial use ‘9’), first letter of the last name, third letter of the last name (if blank, use ‘9’), month of birth, day of birth, and gender code. This string is then encrypted using a HRSA-supplied algorithm that can be incorporated into the provider’s data collection system.
VA facility	Any facility funded through the Veterans Administration.
Viral load test	A test that measures the quantity of HIV RNA in the blood. Results are expressed as the number of copies per milliliter of blood plasma. This test is employed as a predictor of disease progression.
