Description:The Clinic-Based Surveillance-Informed Patient Retracing intervention aims to re-engage out-of-care HIV positive patients by using clinical data to identify out-of-care patients, matching clinical data with public health surveillance data, and employing a linkage specialist to link persons back into HIV care. The clinic data manager identifies patients for re-linkage outreach semi-annually using a clinic database. A list of patients meeting out-ofcare criteria is sent to the public health department and is matched with HIV surveillance data to identify patients who are out of care versus those who have transferred HIV care, moved away, died or are incarcerated. A linkage specialist attempts to contact out-of-care patients using telephone calls, email, outside agency contacts, and an emergency contact. The linkage specialist assists with scheduling medical appointments and reminding patients of their medical appointments. The linkage specialist also assists with transportation as needed.
