A stepwise practice transformation approach for health care organizations seeking to add HIV care or to increase services for people with HIV.
HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau has adopted a broad strategy for identifying HIV service delivery models. At one end of the spectrum are relatively flexible criteria for identifying emerging and innovative models, based on “real world” efficacy. At the other end of the spectrum are more rigorous evidence-informed standards.
