Ryan white title III HIV capacity development and planning grants - title: FY 2025 rwhap part c capacity development program category: HIV care innovation this initiative aims to strengthen organizational infrastructure and increase capacity to provide high-quality HIV care services to black persons living with HIV (plwh)in prince george's county, maryland by addressing service delivery inefficiencies, systemic barriers to care, and workforce training gaps. Heart to hand will modernize its model of care infrastructure through the implementation of eclinicalworks (ECW), a cloud-based electronic health record (EHR) system to streamline service coordination and data management for HIV primary health care. This transition will eliminate inefficiencies caused by current fragmented data systems by reducing duplication of efforts, enhancing real-time patient tracking, and improving reporting capabilities. Additionally, heart to hand will expand access to gynecologic screenings and specialty care referrals, addressing rising cervical cancer incidence rates in prince george's county and disproportionate mortality rates among black and hispanic women. By integrating routine gynecologic screenings into HIV primary care, patients will receive comprehensive, inclusive, and preventive services, mitigating health disparities. The initiative also incorporates workforce training on ECW utilization and inclusive care practices, ensuring that medical, case management, and administrative personnel are equipped with the skills needed to deliver high-quality, patient-centered HIV care. These enhancements align with hrsa's goals of increasing healthcare accessibility, improving patient outcomes, and fostering sustainable, equity-driven healthcare solutions for communities disproportionately impacted by HIV.
