Tools developed by the Rapid ART Dissemination Assistance Provider (DAP), a HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau initiative that identified best practices in implementation of Rapid Start services as standard of care for people living with HIV and served by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP). Resources were identified via an environmental scan, subsequent in-depth interviews, and analysis to identify the facilitators of Rapid Start provision and implementation.
Components
- Best practices, and service delivery models, that facilitate the delivery of effective Rapid Start services in diverse RWHAP-funded provider settings.
- Model Rapid Start projects, with highlights on their key features, video overviews, process maps, and detailed descriptions.
- Series of videos featuring a diverse group of clients, clinicians and program staff and their perspectives on rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
- The Rapid Start Cost Estimation Tool will help you estimate the additional costs needed to support the planning, implementation, and management of Rapid Start services in your clinical setting.
