TRANSCRIPT
The coordination and delivery of HIV/AIDS care and support services is primarily accomplished through grant agreements with seven Regional Grantees (including the Philadelphia Department of Public Health), which provide a statewide service delivery network for persons with HIV or AIDS and their families, who have no other means to pay for services. The Care Section is responsible for the following: Provision of Ryan White Part B Core Medical and Support services for eligible HIV + individuals – The Department receives an annual grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) for the oversight of Core Services and Support services. Funding designated for Core services provided to individuals include outpatient health services, oral health care, health insurance assistance, home health care, home and community based health services, hospice services, medical case management, and substance abuse and mental health services. Support services provided are emergency financial assistance, food bank and home delivered meals, housing, legal, linguistic, medical transportation, outreach, psychosocial support, respite care and treatment adherence counseling. CD4+ T-Cell and Viral Load Testing - Knowledge of the CD4+ T-cell count and viral load is critical to determining an HIV-positive individual's response to therapy and disease progression. Therefore, free and confidential CD4+ T-cell and viral load tests are offered to HIV-positive individuals who participate in the SPBP or who are eligible for Ryan White Part B funding, or have no other means to pay for the tests. Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program - The Department receives an annual grant from Housing and Urban Development to administer the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. Through HOPWA funding, six of the seven Regional Grantees provide rental assistance, short term mortgage payments and other housing-related services for people infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Corrections Discharge Case Management Planning - The Transitional Planning Initiative was formed between the Department and the Department of Corrections (DOC) and was implemented to assist HIV-positive inmates in transitioning to the community upon release from the state correctional setting. DOC staff members use Division funded networks to connect HIV-positive inmates with case managers to facilitate access to medical and supportive services in their home communities. Quality Management – In order to ensure services are consistent with guidelines for improvement in the access to and quality of HIV services, the Care Section has implemented a Quality Management Program.
Other Care Section Activities, accomplished by or in collaboration with contractors, such as the University of Pittsburgh, HIV Prevention and Care Project and the Pennsylvania State University:
• Comprehensive HIV Planning;
• Capacity-Building Activities;
• Program Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation;
• Needs Assessment; and
• Critical Phase Intervention Project working with HIV testing sites to ensure the linkage ofnewly identified HIV+ individuals into Care services.
