doteHIVQUAL to be Launched Soon

Note: This fall, the HIVQUAL-US program will be launching eHIVQUAL, a web-based tool for the collection and analysis of health care data for quality management. HIVQUAL-US is a model for building capacity for quality management that is designed to improve care for people living with HIV developed by the NY State Department of Health AIDS Institute in partnership with HRSA/HAB. It is funded through a cooperative agreement with HRSA/HAB.

eHIVQUAL allows HIV providers to generate pre-programmed reports with filtering capabilities that are useful in managing the quality of HIV care. Similar to the previous MS Access-based versions, eHIVQUAL uses a performance measurement strategy based on a sampling methodology. The new application also allows importing of data from other systems and the reports are instantly exportable through multiple formats.

The HIVQUAL-US program offers multiple services at no cost to Ryan White Part C- and Part D-funded clinics.

For additional information on eHIVQUAL contact Joan Monserrate, Deputy Program Director, HIVQUAL-US, at jmm30@health.state.ny.us or 212/417-4620.
