Interventions are being tested with a PDSA for 5 of the largest barriers to VLS 6. Consumers recruited and are actively involved with the PDSA interventions Interventions being tested: Faster data entry into CAREWare Follow up on patients new to HAART Mental Health Barrier Insurance Barrier Improved communication between patients and staff
