Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) have established Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and an Intra-Departmental Delegation of Authority (IDDA) co-funding agreement to collaboratively advance research under a cooperative agreement titled “Using Real-time Prescription and Insurance Claims Data to Support the HIV Care Continuum (CDC RFA-PS-19-003).” The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to develop, implement and evaluate a “Data-to-Care (D2C) Rx” and “Insurance-based D2C” model. Both models will use real-time pharmacy claims data to identify persons with HIV who fail to fill antiretroviral (ARV) medications and to target these individuals for escalating adherence, retention and re-linkage interventions. The D2C Rx model will start by identifying persons with HIV who fail to fill prescribed ARV medications while the Insurance-based D2C model will start with medical (diagnosis and procedure) claims to identify persons with diagnosed HIV and then use pharmacy claims data to determine whether these individuals fill ARV prescriptions. |
