• Description:
  Transitional Care Coordination (TCC) is a structural-level intervention focused on improving HIV-related outcomes for incarcerated persons with HIV (PWH) prior to their release into their communities in New York City, New York. In TCC, a Patient Care Coordinator provides a discharge plan during the second day of incarceration. The discharge plan addresses basic needs (i.e., housing security, food security, and clothing) and addresses barriers to access care (e.g., health insurance, AIDS Drug Assistance Program) and additional community support services. TCC also provides health education, liaisons to the court, assistance with discharge medication, and linkages to primary HIV care, substance abuse and mental health treatment. Additionally, TCC provides patient navigation services that include home visits, providing transportation to care visits, and accompanying the person on the care visit upon release.
