Ryan White Reports
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act was signed by Congress in 1990 and reauthorized in October 2009 to create a system of services for improving the quality and availability of healthcare services for people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. The program is managed by the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) under the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Grantees and service providers must complete an annual Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Annual Data Report (RDR) detailing information on all the clients they served during the course of the calendar year in order to meet funding requirements.

Download a sample reportBeginning January 1, 2009, Ryan White Program grantees and service providers must report information on their programs and the clients they serve to HAB using a new semiannual data collection and reporting system called Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Services Report (RSR). These reports will cover the first half of the calendar year and the full calendar year. In addition, while there is a transition to this client-level reporting system, an RDR will also be required for 2009. (2)
Fortunately, LAB TRACKER™ HIV helps clinicians steer through the array of required information necessary for completing both an RDR and RSR. Although these reports must be run separately to meet HAB requirements, LAB TRACKER™ HIV can error check for missing required data as clinicians advance through the structured process of building a submission ready report. LAB TRACKER™ HIV also allows for error checking to be disabled so that if some information is unknown, a clinician can move on, save, and come back to enter as that information is available. Re-enabling error checking from step one, will allow for a final review to ensure there are no missing requirements.
