HRSA aims to increase delivery of
evidence-based interventions that enhance client outcomes, increase
the skill level of the HIV workforce providing care and treatment
to Women, Infants, Children and Youth (WICY), and involve
partnerships for dissemination of best practices to Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part D participants. To that end, HRSA
seeks to implement a Communities of Practice (CoP) platform for
RWHAP Part D recipients. A CoP engages recipient teams in
improvement learning sessions using subject matter experts along
with application experts who help recipient teams select, test and
implement changes on the front line of care. Through organizational
self-assessments, didactic learning on specific care topics, goals
setting and work plan development, each team can strategically
benefit their organization. CoPs afford participants the
opportunity to work in a group to solve a recognized challenge
related to a CoP domain and support dialogue among participants and
the consultant/subject matter experts. Recipient teams commit to
working over a period of 12 months, alternating between Learning
Sessions in which teams come together to learn about the chosen
topic and to plan changes, and Action Periods in which the teams
return to their respective organizations and test those changes in
their clinic settings. The domains for the proposed CoPs are trauma
informed care, pre-conception counseling and youth transitioning
into adult HIV care services.
