Emergency (CARE) Act are collected

twice each year. A unique identifier is

used to protect the anonymity of the

clients, and as a further safeguard, this

unique identifier is encrypted before it

is sent to HRSA.

HRSA initiated the CDP to

demonstrate (1) the feasibility of

collecting client level demographic and

service data on HIV/AIDS infected/

affected clients across a network of

service providers and (2) the usefulness

of these data for planning and

evaluation purposes at both the local

and national levels. Through this

system, HRSA sought to overcome the

limitations of the Annual

Administrative Report (AAR), the

national reporting system for the Ryan

White CARE Act. The AAR collects data

aggregated at the grantee level and has

duplicated counts of clients. The

number of clients reported in the AAR

overestimates the true number of

clients. In addition, AAR data are not

tied to any clinical or service outcome

information at the client level. The

feasibility of collecting client data has

been demonstrated. The usefulness of

these data for planning and evaluation

purposes at both the local and national

level has become increasingly evident.

A number of client level analyses that

were not possible with the AAR have

been undertaken.

In addition to meeting the goal of

accountability to Congress, clients,

advocacy groups, and the general

public, the CDP supports critical efforts

by HRSA, state and local grantees, and

providers to assess the health outcomes

and the service utilization patterns of

the individuals at these sites who are

infected or affected by HIV/AIDS and

receive care at a provider funded by the

Ryan White CARE Act.

Outcome specific and treatment

measures are collected in the data

system. These data elements seek to

document whether current standards of

care as established by the Public Health

Service are being adhered to at these

Ryan White CARE Act facilities. The

core set of data elements are largely

unchanged from the AAR. Minor

changes in the demographic data

elements have been made as a result of

meetings and input from the current

grantees and their providers.
