Date
March 17, 2020
In 2019, the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America initiative started, and health centers were tasked with leading the charge across the country. PrEP has been utilized as one of the tools to help curtail new infections. However, implementing a sustainable PrEP program within the health center can be complicated. In this timely session, attendees will hear from experts on implementation efforts driven by health center leadership, while focusing on business models for PrEP in primary care, care coordination, and the use of informatics.
Learning Objectives
- Identify common practices in building, operating, and sustaining PrEP within the health center environment through operational, quality improvement, and clinical lenses.
- Discuss the current landscape for PrEP, highlighting reimbursement issues, risk contracting, and effectiveness within communities of color.
- Communicate effective patient-centered strategies that help and support the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative.
