Abstract:
HRSA developed CAREWare, a software application first released in 2000, to help meet the data collection and reporting needs of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) grant recipients. The secure software is a free, electronic health and social support services information system for RWHAP grant recipients and their subrecipients to assist in the data requirement submissions that inform the development of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Service Report, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program Data Report, the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative Triannual Report, and the voluntary Clinical Quality Measures Performance Measures module. Over time, the software has evolved into a comprehensive health information system and is now the source of more than half of all the RWHAP client-level data received from recipients and subrecipients of RWHAP grant funding. CAREWare software manages HIV clinical and support service data from more than 360,000 client records in 48 states; Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The CAREWare software application contains customizable modules for tracking demographic information, services, medications, laboratory test results, immunization history, diagnoses (updated with International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes), referrals to outside agencies, and an appointment scheduler. There is a custom report generator and a performance measures module that supports quality of care initiatives at the provider level. The software also has several ways to import data from third-party sources, including commercial labs and other electronic health records (using both Health Level Seven and simple Comma Separated Value-formatted files), HIV surveillance systems, and for RWHAP Part B AIDS Drug Assistance Programs, pharmacy benefit programs. The software and user support materials can be accessed here: https://hab.hrsa.gov/program-grants-management/careware. Finally, CAREWare supports users through an experienced helpdesk with ongoing software maintenance issues and enhancements to the user interface. HRSA is proposing a customer satisfaction survey to gather feedback from CAREWare users regarding their experiences and satisfaction with the software platform and to obtain suggestions for improvement.
