What this research studies
This project aims to enhance HIV care by utilizing real-time pharmaceutical insurance claims data to identify individuals who are not picking up their prescribed antiretroviral (ARV) medications. By monitoring adherence at 30 and 60 days, the research team will implement targeted interventions to address barriers to medication adherence and re-engage patients in their HIV treatment and primary care. The collaboration involves multiple organizations, including Amida Care and the CDC, to ensure effective identification and support for those at risk of falling out of care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living with HIV who have been prescribed ARV medications but have not picked them up within the first 30 to 60 days.
Not a fit: Patients who are already consistently adhering to their HIV medication regimen may not receive additional benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve medication adherence and health outcomes for individuals living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using real-time data to improve medication adherence in various health contexts, indicating a promising approach for this initiative.
