RSR in Focus: Software Options for Creating the Client-Level Data File

As part of the Ryan White Services Report (RSR), you are required to submit de-identified client-level demographic, service, and clinical data. Rather than filling out an online form (as with the Recipient Report and the Provider Report), you must upload these data in an electronic file, with a record for each client, in a specific XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format. Each client record must be assigned an encrypted Unique Client Identifier (eUCI).

This In Focus document describes software options for creating the client-level data file. If you do not use one of the listed systems, the document also provides a decision tree to help you determine what you can do to submit de-identified client-level data.
