  2. “Aha Moment” Realization that many, if not most, of our patients are already self managed • Peer navigators, pharmacy support and adherence, nursing education (i.e. CD4, VL) are all interventions that were already in place that promote self management • How do we know?: • HIV quality indicators are high • Decreased number of patient ‘no-shows’ • Anecdotal reports and clinician experience

  3. “Oh No” Moment Realizing that the most complex (medically and psychosocially) patients consumes most of the interdisciplinary teams time and resources • i.e. 10-15% of our patients (110/1100) require complex case management • In terms of HIV, our complex patients are quite stable, however many have complex needs based on addictions • Realization that a more comprehensive and innovative restructuring of already existing addictions team needs to occur

  4. Moving Ahead • Addictions team to meet regularly • New strategies to be implemented to improve engagement in care (i.e. groups) • Improved group space • Addictions team to work with QI team on planning and evaluation measures (PDSA)
