HIV care cascade before and after hospitalization: impact of a multidisciplinary inpatient team in the US South.
Hospitalization represents an opportunity to re-engage out-of-care individuals, improve HIV outcomes, and reduce health disparities. The authors reviewed electronic health records of HIV-positive individuals hospitalized at an urban, public hospital between September 2013 and December 2015. They found that hospitalized patients with HIV had low rates of engagement in care, retention in care, and virologic suppression, though all three outcomes improved after hospitalization. A multidisciplinary transitions team improved care engagement and virologic suppression in those who received the intervention.

Patient and provider perspectives on 30-day readmissions, preventability, and strategies for improving transitions of care for patients with HIV at a safety net hospital.
Researchers assessed perceived causes of 30-day hospital readmissions, factors associated with preventability, and strategies to reduce preventable readmissions and improve continuity of care for HIV-positive individuals. Using semi-structured interviews, they found that the 30-day metric should be adjusted for safety net institutions and patients with AIDS; that participants disagreed about preventability; and that various stakeholders proposed readmission reduction strategies that spanned the inpatient to outpatient care continuum. They then outlined multiple interventions which could substantially decrease hospital readmissions in this underserved population.
