There’s a better way to evaluate HIV services:
Partner with TMF
Finding a way to get high quality, statistically valid data for program administration and oversight is a constant struggle for Ryan White CARE Act grantees. With limited resources and a mandated need for data collection and outcomes-driven results, most program administrators wish they had a better way to get the job done.
A partnership with TMF Health Quality Institute may be the answer.
We recognize that grantees are expected to manage their resources for the greatest impact. Because TMF specializes in Ryan White CARE Act record review and data analysis, we can offer solutions at prices that are affordable for any grantee.
TMF project managers work with clients to design and implement site visit review programs that exceed what many public health groups are able to achieve on their own due to stretched resources. Collaborating with TMF extends a program’s reach, creating a partnership with providers to improve the health of the indigent HIV/AIDS population.
Experience
We bring our depth of experience in designing and conducting specialized review projects to each client. TMF has a demonstrated track record of success.
Clients for whom we have performed evaluation of Title I Funded Primary Care Services through the Ryan White CARE Act include:

TMF’s biostatisticians and nurse consultants conduct statistical analysis, compiling and analyzing data into a formal report. This report can include benchmark data that can be used for other quality improvement activities.
Adaptability
TMF has the infrastructure in place to quickly respond to new contracts and support managers and field staff in providing a comprehensive review of services. TMF doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to HIV-provider review services. We take the time to learn your systems and work with you to tailor our activities to your structure, process, goals and resources.
For each grantee, TMF collaborates with program managers to develop a customized electronic survey tool that:
- Focuses on identified needs
- Captures national benchmark data
- Ensures consistent data collection and reporting
- Provides program managers with both program-wide data analysis and site-specific analysis
