2 PREFACE This document presents indicators for the measurement of quality of care provided in HIV ambulatory care services. The set of indicators has been updated and expanded to reflect changes in the standard of practice for HIV care that have occurred since the last period during which data were submitted through the HIVQUAL-US and New York State Quality of Care (QOC) Programs. Definitions for each indicator have been included to guide participants in the use of ehivqual, the new online data collection system. Indicators for use outside of NYS were developed and refined with input from the HIVQUAL-US National Clinical Advisory Committee, which consists of HIV providers from clinics across the United States. Members were recruited from clinics that reflect the geographic distribution of Ryan White Care providers. NYS QOC indicators were developed and refined with input from the NYS Quality Advisory Committee, the members of which are experienced HIV providers from across New York State. Initially, indicators were developed by formal group decision-making methods, beginning with a nominal group technique (NGT) process. A modified Delphi process was conducted to refine the indicators and specify review criteria. For several indicators, New York State criteria were formally adopted by the Committee, including the HIV Specialist Policy and the definitions of stable and unstable clinical status for patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. The Advisory Committee is routinely convened to review and revise selected indicators based on changes in clinical guidelines and experience in the field concerning the validity of the measures and their relevance to care.

3 HIVQUAL Indicators ehivqual collects performance data on up to 33 clinical indicators. While facilities are encouraged to collect data on all of the indicators that would be helpful for their quality management program, not all indicators are considered "core," or required, indicators for submission under the applicable program. For the purpose of data submission, there are sets of core and optional indicators. These sets differ for New York State QOC HIV programs and for HIVQUAL-US facilities outside on New York, which are Ryan White (RW) Part C or Part D grantees. Programs that are located in NYS and receive Part C or D funding must submit data for both NYS core indicators and HIVQUAL-US core indicators. Both NYS QOC and HIVQUAL-US participants may choose which optional indicators to enter data for submission. Adult Ambulatory Care core and optional indicators are listed below. Pediatric, adolescent, nursing home and case management indicators are explained in separate indicator guides.

4 1. ENGAGEMENT IN CARE Clinical Visits & HIV-Experienced Provider Care ehivqual will ask for dates of all clinical visits during the review period. In addition to regular clinical visits, consultations with an HIV-experienced provider should occur at least once every four months. For each visit entered, ehivqual will ask you to specify whether the patient saw an HIV-experienced provider. There are several available definitions of what constitutes an HIV-experienced provider. During the specification of review parameters (review dates, optional indicators to be used, etc.), a drop-down list is provided for you to select the definition that has been adopted by your state or organization. If no matching definition is found, you can select Other and enter a different one. HIV-Experienced Provider Definition Practitioners who have been accorded HIV-Experienced Provider status by the American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM) or have met the HIV Medicine Association's (HIVMA) definition of an HIV-experienced provider are eligible for designation as an HIV Experienced Provider in New York State. Nurse practitioners and licensed midwives who provide clinical care to HIV-infected individuals in collaboration with a physician may be considered HIV Experienced Providers provided that all other practice agreements are met (8 NYCRR ; 10 NYCRR 85.36; 8 NYCRR ). Physician assistants who provide clinical care to HIV-infected individuals under the supervision of an HIV Specialist physician may also be considered HIV Experienced Providers (10 NYCRR 94.2). 2. HIV-SPECIFIC CARE HIV Monitoring All viral load and CD4 lab results obtained during the review period, and the dates of these results, are to be entered into ehivqual. These data are used in the assessment of ARV management, and must be entered before attempting to enter data for the ARV Therapy Management indicator. New this year, viral load values can be entered in three ways: (i) an exact value; (ii) below a specified threshold (which must be less than or equal to 400 copies/ml); or (iii) above a specified threshold (which must be greater than or equal to 75,000 copies/ml). The method used should reflect the way the results are specified in the lab report. Antiretroviral Therapy Monitoring All ARV drugs prescribed for the patient during the review period, including start and stop dates (if applicable), are entered into ehivqual. For patients already on ARV therapy prior to the beginning of the review period, please enter the actual start dates of drugs constituting the current regimen. If the start dates of drugs constituting the current regimen are before the start of the review period but not known 6/2/2010 Indicator Definitions Guide Page 4 of 23
5 precisely, enter an approximate date before the beginning of the review period. Do not enter stop dates for drugs that a patient continues to take. However, if there is documentation in the chart that the patient stopped taking medication, a stop date should be entered that reflects this, even if the patient s physician did not advise the patient to discontinue therapy. ehivqual will also ask if the patient received any ARV medications before the review period. This question refers to the patient s entire medical history. It is an assessment of whether the patient was ARV naïve, and it must be answered before proceeding to the next screen. These data are used to assess management of ARV therapy, and must be entered before attempting to enter data for the ARV Therapy Management indicator. Viral Load Suppression Based on the viral load values entered above, ehivqual separates patients into two categories: suppressed and not suppressed. This is derived from the last viral load measurement of the review period. If the value of this measurement is above 400 copies/ml, or if there was no measurement in the last half of the review period, the patient is considered not suppressed; if the value is less than or equal to 400 copies/ml the patient is considered suppressed. No additional data entry is required for this indicator. ARV Therapy Management Appropriate ARV Therapy management is assessed from the viral load dates and values and the ART medication information that the user has entered. Thus, all CD4, viral load, and ARV medication data must be entered before attempting to enter data for ARV Therapy Management. All patients whose viral loads were not suppressed according to definition above are eligible for this indicator From these patients, the last viral load measured before October 31 of the review period is used as a reference point. If this value is greater 400 copies/ml, then the patient s ARV drug regimen should have been changed within one week of the date of measurement. If ehivqual finds that ARV therapy has not been appropriately managed, it will ask if there was documented justification for not changing the regimen. If the regimen was stopped in the week following the reference viral load measurement, ehivqual will ask whether this was due to the patient s clinical status. Documentation Guide (ehivqual options) Justification for Not Changing Regimen Intercurrent Illness Adherence Intervention Documented Viral Load Test Repeated Resistance Test Ordered Clinical Judgment Justification for Stopping ARV Therapy Intolerance All Therapeutic Options Exhausted Documented Non-Adherence Patient Choice 6/2/2010 Indicator Definitions Guide Page 5 of 23
6 Insurance Issues Adherence Assessment A patient will be considered eligible for the adherence indicator if antiretroviral therapy was prescribed during the review period. 1) Adherence should be assessed with patients, at the very minimum, once a year. ehivqual prompts, "Was adherence assessed with the patient?" A qualitative or quantitative adherence assessment is documented (continue to 2). No documentation of adherence assessment (stop). 2) ehivqual prompts, How was adherence assessed? Adherence may be measured quantitatively or qualitatively. If adherence was assessed more than once during the review period, refer to the last assessment when answering this and any follow-up questions. A quantitative assessment is a percentage value which may have already been calculated and documented in the chart. If no percentage measure has been calculated, use the information from the quantitative assessment to estimate a percentage. For quantitative assessments, the general formula for rate of adherence is: Rate of adherence = Total doses taken / Total doses prescribed Documentation Guide (suggestions) Assessment of adherence Patient self-report Pill count Prescription refill Electronic monitoring (MEMS) Diaries Direct observational therapy Family reporting for individuals who cannot self report Quantitatively: Adherence was quantitatively assessed (continue to 2.1). Qualitatively: Adherence was qualitatively assessed (continue to 2.2). 2.1) If adherence was quantitatively assessed, ehivqual prompts, "Enter adherence % (continue to 3). 2.2) If adherence was qualitatively assessed, ehivqual prompts, Select qualitative category: Excellent, good, fair, and poor are the possible responses. If the chart does not indicate one of these categories, the assessment does not count as a qualitative assessment (continue to 3). 6/2/2010 Indicator Definitions Guide Page 6 of 23
7 3) ehivqual prompts, Was an adherence problem identified? Adherence problem identified and documented (continue to 4). There is no documentation of adherence problem (stop). 4) If a problem is identified, follow-up action should be documented. HIVQUAL prompts, "Was the adherence problem addressed?" Follow-up action documented (stop). No follow-up action documented (stop). Documentation Guide (suggestions) Problem follow-up Provider s note in record Intervention documented (referral, regimen change, device, e.g. pill box, calendar) PCP Prophylaxis All HIV+ patients who have a CD4 count < 200 cells / mm 3 during the 12 month review period are eligible for the PCP prophylaxis indicator (unless CD4 count subsequently rises above 200 cells/mm 3 for the last six months of the review period). ehivqual prompts, Enter the first date during the review period when PCP prophylaxis was prescribed. If PCP prophylaxis (TMP/SMX, atovaquone, dapsone) was prescribed, enter the first prescription date during the review period; if PCP prophylaxis was not prescribed (including patients who refuse prophylaxis or are intolerant) check the None documented box.

11 Mental Health Care Screening ehivqual evaluates whether all HIV+ patients have received mental health screening during the 12 month review period. (A patient is deemed to have received a mental health screening if all of the specified components were provided; see tables below for details.) Additionally, the need and follow-up for a mental health referral is evaluated. 1) Mental Health Screening: ehivqual confirms funding information for the service when the mental health indicator page is opened during data entry on the first patient being reviewed. 2) Once funding has been determined ehivqual presents a list of the required Mental Health Screening components (see list below). Required components vary by location and funding. All components apply to NYS C/D funded programs. Please check all that are documented in the medical record. Documentation Guide NYS, not C/D-funded NYS, C/D funded Outside NYS Criteria developed by the New York State Quality of Care Advisory Committee include the following components for an annual Mental Health Screening for people with HIV: Cognitive function assessment, including mental status Depression screening Anxiety screening Psychiatric history Psychosocial assessment Sleeping habits assessment Appetite assessment Domestic violence screening (optional) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder screening (optional) Criteria developed by the New York State Quality of Care Advisory Committee and the Mental Health/Substance Use Subcommittee of the National HIVQUAL Clinical Advisory Committee include the following components for an annual Mental Health Screening for people with HIV: Cognitive function assessment, including mental status Depression screening Anxiety screening Psychiatric history Psychosocial assessment Sleeping habits assessment Appetite assessment Domestic violence screening Post Traumatic Stress Disorder screening Criteria developed by the Mental Health/Substance Use Subcommittee of the National HIVQUAL Clinical Advisory Committee include the following components for an annual Mental Health Screening for people with HIV: Cognitive function assessment, including mental status Depression screening 6/2/2010 Indicator Definitions Guide Page 11 of 23

Documentation Guide (suggestions): 6/2/2010 Indicator Definitions Guide Page 21 of 23
22 Please note that this question refers to the entire course of the patient s HIV treatment at your facility, and is not limited to the 12-month review period. A health literacy screen can be performed by any member of the health care team. Different health literacy screening tools may be used as long as documentation of the screening is noted in the medical record. Each HIV program should select a tool that is most appropriate for their clinic s use and which would provide information about the need for an intervention. The following screening tools are used by other HIV programs: - Single Item Literacy Screen (SILS) - Newest Vital Sign (NVS) - Brief Estimate of Health Knowledge and Action- HIV Version (BEHKA-HIV) - Peer Developed Screening Tool by Greater Hudson Valley Family Health Center - Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM); a revised version (REALM-R) is also available - Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (TOFHLA); a short form of TOFHLA (S- TOFHLA) is also available - Wide Range Achievement Test Revised (WRAT-R) 2) Was the need for a health literacy intervention documented during the 12-month review period?

23 Documentation Guide (suggestions): Examples of patient-specific health literacy interventions include, but are not limited to: - Teach Back Method - Ask Me 3 (encourage patients to understand answers to 3 questions: 1) What is my main problem? 2) What do I need to do? 3) Why is it important for me to do this?) - Patient educational intervention - Referral to an appropriate specialist Documentation Guide (suggestions): Health literacy is increasingly recognized as a significant public health issue. People with low health literacy levels receive less preventive care, have lower levels of understanding of their health information, and are hospitalized or use the emergency room more frequently (1). There continue to be a number of health literacy definitions, including the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions (2). Health literacy involves understanding instructions on prescription drug bottles, appointment slips, medical education brochures, doctor s directions and consent forms, and the ability to negotiate complex health care systems (3). Basic components of health literacy screening include, but not limited to: ability to read, basic numeracy skills, and comprehension of provided health-related information.
