Charlotte Retention in Care Study
Charlotte Retention in Care Study
The objective of the Charlotte Retention in Care study is to assess if clinical decision
 support systems (CDSS) that produce standardized alerts for measures of retention in care
 across clinics in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina have the ability to increase
 retention in care measures within clinics and in surveillance reports.
Multiple Charlotte HIV Clinic providers are participating. "Primary" HIV provider will be
 defined as the primary physician or advanced care practitioner following a patient, as
 recorded in their respective Electronic Health Record (EHR) system and identified through
 CHORUS, a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) developed by Epividian. The CDSS will track
 patient case status as active or inactive (loss to follow-up, transferred medical care, or
 deceased). Providers will be informed of the study and sites will be contracted to
 participate in this collaborative research study. This study was approved by the Advarra
 Institutional Review Board.
