HealthARCH Program Opportunity
The Florida Department of Health’s Bureau of Communicable Diseases and the University of Central Florida College of Medicine’s HealthARCH (HealthARCH) have partnered to engage health system organizations with one-on-one technical assistance to improve HIV screening and re-screening rates. This Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) program focuses on Florida counties with an aim to increase the performance of health systems in managing Opt-out testing using electronic health record systems. While the HIV EHE initiative focuses on the seven Florida counties with the most new diagnoses, (Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach and Pinellas), health systems in other counties may be eligible to participate if they have not implemented routine Opt-out screening.
Getting Started: Provider Survey
As part of the provider community outreach and recruiting process, HealthARCH is conducting a survey of organizations to better understand their readiness for participation.
The survey is available for providers to complete at the following link.
Additional details on the program and a request for more information can be found on the Florida EHE County page below.
