The U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau’s (HAB’s) Division of Policy and Data’s Data Management and Analysis Branch has released a fact sheet to outline changes to the 2019 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Services Report (RSR). The changes include revisions to the current Client, Recipient, and Provider data collection instruments and changes to the services reported in the Client Report.
These modifications largely reflect HRSA HAB’s efforts to:
- reduce data reporting burden on recipients and subrecipients;
- improve the quality of all data collected and reported;
- ensure HRSA HAB can measure the investment and impact of all RWHAP-related expenditures at state and local levels; and
- align the data collection and reporting efforts with recently released Policy Clarification Notices (PCNs).
The fact sheet summarizes the variable changes, describes eligible services reporting, and provides a timeline for the rollout and implementation of the changes to all data collection and reporting systems is now available. To learn more about the changes, join HRSA HAB for a webinar on May 8 (2:00pm ET).
