About this study

Multiple Charlotte HIV Clinic providers are participating. "Primary" HIV provider will be defined as the primary physician or advanced care practitioner following a patient, as recorded in their respective Electronic Health Record (EHR) system and identified through CHORUS, a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) developed by Epividian. The CDSS will track patient case status as active or inactive (loss to follow-up, transferred medical care, or deceased). Providers will be informed of the study and sites will be contracted to participate in this collaborative research study. This study was approved by the Advarra Institutional Review Board.
