P4C PROGRESS REPORT [enter #] – OUTCOMES REPORT

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORTING FOR SECTION 2 FOR CY 2015

These instructions pertain to CY 2015 reporting for Section 2 of the P4C Progress Report – Outcomes Report, including reporting tables A through N (lines 1-70) on the reporting form.

P4C Outcomes Measures

P4C outcome measures were established and disseminated to all health centers in February 2015. Measures are based on UDS definitions of visits, providers and patients as they appear in the UDS Reporting Manual (http://bphc.hrsa.gov/healthcenterdatastatistics/reporting/2014udsmanual.pdf). Any additional terms used are defined in measure specifications, including measure numerators, denominators, and inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Aggregate data must be reported for each P4C outcome measure across all patients and all service delivery sites regardless of whether a site (1) has implemented routine HIV testing, (2) has established an HIV care team, or (3) is providing a specific service directly or by referral.

Reporting by EHR verses Chart Sampling

Health centers should be able to report all P4C measures on the universe of patients meeting measure criteria using Electronic Health Records (EHR). However, when reporting CY 2015 data, health centers may use a chart sample for select measures if they are unable to report data on all patients meeting the established criteria (i.e., the universe) from an electronic data source that includes all medical patients from all service delivery sites and grant funded programs (e.g., CHC, HCH, MHC, PH).

Health centers can use the universe to report some P4C measures and use a chart sample to report other P4C measures. It is not necessary that all measures be reported using the same method. For some measures, health centers may not use a chart sample as indicated in the corresponding reporting table.

P4C procedures for use of chart sampling are equivalent to UDS procedures. When using a chart sample, health centers must:

• Use a scientifically drawn sample of 70 patients drawn from all patients meeting the established criteria.

• Use a different sample of 70 patients for each P4C measure reported by a chart sample.

• Not use the same number of charts from each site, or the same number of charts for each provider, or any other stratification method that results in oversampling some group of patients.

• Not use a sample larger than 70 charts.

For CY 2016, health centers must report all P4C measures on the universe of patients meeting measure criteria using Electronic Health Records (EHR). For each measure reported by chart sample in CY 2015, health centers are encouraged to provide updated data for all patients in the universe with or before submission of their final progress report.

Reporting Tables

Each outcome measure has a separate reporting table within the progress report. A description of each reporting table and corresponding instructions follow. Health centers should submit data using the established progress report reporting form. Do not include this attachment with the submission.

A. ROUTINE HIV TEST DURING MEDICAL CARE VISIT, LINE 1

PERFORMANCE MEASURE: Percent of medical patients aged 15-65 years in need of HIV testing who were tested for HIV as part of a medical care visit during the reporting period

• Numerator: Number of patients in the denominator who were tested for HIV as part of a medical care visit during the reporting period

• Denominator: Number of patients aged 15-65 years seen for at least one medical care visit at the health center during the reporting period and in need of HIV testing at the start of the reporting period

Denominator, Total Number of Medical Patients Aged 15 to 65 in Need of HIV Testing, Column (a)

Inclusion Criteria: Add patients who:

• Were born on or after January 1, 1950 and on or before December 31, 2000 AND

• Were last seen by the health center while they were age 15 through 65 years AND

• Had at least one medical care visit at the health center during 2015

• Had an HIV test result documented in their health center medical record OR

• Were known to be HIV-positive

Number of Charts Sampled or EHR Total, Column (b)

Enter the total number of health center patients included in the denominator (Column a) for whom data have been reviewed. This will be EITHER all patients who fit the criteria (Column a) OR a scientifically drawn sample of 70 patients drawn from all patients who fit the criteria.

Numerator, Number of Medical Patients Aged 15 to 65 Tested for HIV as Part of a Medical Care Visit, Column (c)

Inclusion Criteria: Add patients from the denominator who during 2015 had a medical care visit at the health center that occurred:

Inclusion Criteria: Add patients from the denominator who during 2015 had a non-medical care visit at the health center¹ that occurred:

• On the same day an HIV test was ordered OR

• On the same day the specimen for an HIV test was collected OR

• On the same day the patient agreed to be tested for HIV, as documented in the medical record²

Exclusion Criteria: None

Notes

¹ Health centers may not have any HIV tests during non-medical care visits to report based on their implementation of routine HIV testing. Routine HIV testing requires that all patients coming in for care are routinely offered an HIV test, regardless of risk. In accords with P4C project requirements, all health centers are required to routinely offer HIV tests to all patients aged 15-65 years during medical visits at sites where comprehensive primary care services are provided. However, some health centers are electing to routinely offer HIV tests to patients aged 15-65 at additional sites (e.g., dental sites) or during non-medical visits (e.g., behavioral health visits).

² For patients with more than one HIV test during the reporting period, the first test conducted during the reporting period will be used to establish whether the patient was screened as part of a medical care visit or as part of a non-medical care visit.

C. DOCUMENTED HIV TEST, Line 3

PERFORMANCE MEASURE: Percent of medical patients aged 15-65 years seen during the reporting period who had at least one HIV test in their lifetime

Exclusion Criteria: None

C-1. DOCUMENTED HIV TEST BY RACE/ETHNICITY, LINES 4-12

Additional Information

Table C-1 collects additional information for Table C, Line 3 on Hispanic/Latino ethnicity regardless of their race.

• Hispanic/Latino, Columns (d)-(e): Report the number of persons of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, broken down by their racial identification and including those Hispanics/Latinos born in the United States. Do not count persons from Brazil or Haiti whose ethnicity is not tied to the Spanish language.

• Not Hispanic/Latino, Columns (f)-(g): Report the number of all other patients except those for whom there is neither racial nor Hispanic/Latino ethnicity data.

• Unreported/Refused to Report, Columns (h)-(i): Only two cells are available in this column. Report on Line 11, Columns (h) or (i) only those patients who left the entire race and Hispanic/Latino Ethnicity part of the intake form totally blank.

  • Patients who self-report as Hispanic/Latino but do not separately select a race must be reported on Line 11, Columns (d) or (e) (i.e., Hispanic/Latino whose race is unreported or refused to report). Health centers may not default these patients to “White”, “Native American”, “more than one race”, or any other category.

UDS Comparison

P4C reporting of race/ethnicity is equivalent to UDS reporting of race/ethnicity for Table 3B-Patients by Race and Ethnicity and Patients by Language. P4C Progress Reports do not require reporting of patients by language.

Accuracy Check

Table C-1, Line 12, Column (j) must equal Table C, Line 3, Column (a).

Table C-1, Line 12, Column (k) must equal Table C, Line 3, Column (c)

C-2. DOCUMENTED HIV TEST BY GENDER, LINES 13-17

Additional Information

Table C-2 collects additional information for Table C, Line 3 on patient current, self-reported gender.

• Male, Line 13: An individual with strong and persistent identification with the male sex.

• Female, Line 14: An individual with strong and persistent identification with the female sex.

• Transgender, Line 15: 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.

• Unreported/ Refused to report, Line 16: Indicates the client’s gender category is unknown or was not reported.

UDS Comparison

P4C reporting of gender is not equivalent to UDS Table 3A-Patients by Age and Gender.

• P4C reporting uses sexual identity based on patient self-report across three categories, male, female and transgender.

• UDS reporting uses gender based on two categories, male and female

P4C Progress Reports do not require reporting of patient age by gender (UDS Table 3B-Patients by Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity /Race/ Language).

Other Measure Comparison

P4C reporting of gender is equivalent to the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Services Report (RSR) data element for “client’s current self-reported gender” (XML variable name GenderID) (https://careacttarget.org/library/ryan-white-hivaids-program-services-report-rsr-instruction-manual).

Accuracy Check

Table C-2, Line 17, Column (l) must equal Table C, Line 3, Column (a).

Table C-2, Line 17, Column (m) must equal Table C, Line 3, Column (c).

D. NEW CONFIRMED DIAGNOSIS AMONG PATIENTS AGED 15 TO 65, LINE 18

PERFORMANCE MEASURE: Percent of medical patients aged 15-65 years and tested for HIV who had a new, confirmed diagnosis of HIV during the reporting period

• Numerator: Number of patients in the denominator who had a new, confirmed diagnosis of HIV during the reporting period

• Denominator: Number of patients aged 15-65 years seen for at least one medical care visit and tested for HIV at the health center during the reporting period

Denominator, Total Number of Medical Patients Aged 15 to 65 Tested for HIV, Column (a)

Inclusion Criteria: Add patients who:

• Were born on or after January 1, 1950 and on or before December 31, 2000 AND

• Were last seen by the health center while they were age 15 through 65 years AND

• Had at least one medical care visit at the health center during 2015 AND

• Had a specimen collected for a laboratory-based HIV test at the health center during 2015

Exclusion Criteria: None

Number of Charts Sampled or EHR Total, Column (b)

Chart sample is not an option for this measure. Do not enter value.

Numerator, Number of Medical Patients Aged 15 to 65 with New, Confirmed Diagnosis of HIV, Column (c)

Inclusion Criteria: Add patients from the denominator who during 2015:

• Were newly confirmed positive for HIV infection

Exclusion Criteria: Remove patients who:

• Had documentation in their health center medical record of a previous, confirmed positive HIV test OR

• Had documentation in their health center medical record of being previously diagnosed with HIV OR

• Were documented in the health department surveillance system or identified through other health department investigation as previously being HIV-positive OR

• Had previously tested HIV-positive, by self-report

UDS Comparison

P4C Table D, Line 18, Column (c) is a sub-set of patients reported in UDS Table 6A-Selected Diagnoses and Services Rendered, Line 1-2(a) “Initial HIV Diagnosis: Persons diagnosed for the first time ever in their lifetime,” Column (B).

Accuracy Check

P4C Table D, Line 18, Column (a) must equal the sum of P4C Table A, Line 1, Column (c) and P4C Table B, Line 2, Column (c).
