ABSTRACT
Retention in care for people living with HIV (PLWH) is important for individual and population health. Preemptive identification of PLWH at high risk of lapsing in care may improve retention efforts. We surveyed providers at nine institutions throughout Chicago about their perspectives on using an electronic health record (EHR) tool to predict the risk of lapsing in care. Sixty-three percent (20/32) of providers reported currently assessing patients' risk for lapsing in care, and 91% (29/32) reported willingness to implement an EHR tool. When compared to those with other job roles, prescribers agreed (vs. neutral) that the tool would be less biased than personal judgment (OR 13.33, 95% CI 1.05, 169.56). Prescribers were also more likely to identify community health workers as persons who should deliver these interventions (OR 10.50, 95% CI 1.02, 108.58). Transportation, housing, substance use, and employment information were factors that providers wanted to be included in an EHR-based tool. Social workers were significantly more likely to indicate the inclusion of employment information as important (OR 10.50, 95% CI 1.11, 98.87) when compared to other participants. Acceptability of an EHR tool was high; future research should investigate barriers and evaluate the effectiveness of such a tool.
