Presenters will describe a New York City collaborative pilot project utilizing Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) to locate lost-to-care people with HIV. Lost-to-care encounter alerts provide community-based organizations with actionable, real-time data to supplement their ‘classic' care engagement efforts. The model offers a potentially scalable, cost-effective strategy for patient re-engagement efforts on a population level.
