Objective #3: Schedule a rapid HIV testing event quarterly.
HIV/AIDS Awareness - Quality Improvement Project #1
ABOUT
Problem Statement
Aim / Overall Goal / Desired Result
Increase the number of rapid HIV tests performed to 15 tests quarterly by 6/30/2022.
Change Idea
Increasing community/provider awareness of GCHD rapid HIV testing capabilities will result in increased rapid HIV testing.
PDSA Objective
To determine which method(s) of HIV education and rapid HIV testing promotion yield the best response
PDSA Cycle Number: 1
Estimated PDSA Implementation Timeline
From 2021-07-01 to 2021-10-31
What questions do you want answered for this change?
1) How many rapid tests are performed?
2) What is the response of community providers to HIV educational material and offering of rapid HIV testing?
3) What is the most effective way to use social media to HIV awareness and promote rapid testing?
PLAN
Predict what will happen when this test is carried out:
a) Response will be minimal initially, but testing network will increase
b) Numbers of rapid HIV tests will increase
List the tasks needed to set-up this change: (Please include the person responsible, when the task is to be completed, and where the task is to be completed for each task.)
Post HIV education/information on MyGarrettCounty.com and social media
Craft HIV rapid test promotional postcard-size cards
Distribute cards to community providers/partners
Contact Garrett College to set up promotional tables/testing events
Related Improvement Measure:
Number of rapid HIV tests performed
DO
Describe what happened when you ran the test:
Not done
Promotional cards done
Promotional cards created and distributed to Garrett College
Contact made and October and November 2021 events scheduled
STUDY
Describe the measured results, and how they compared to the predictions:
Efforts were concentrated on the rapid HIV testing events at Garrett College: networking, promotional cards/leaflets/flyers distributed, and email blasts by student activities director.
Rapid tests performed: FY 22 QI: 3 HIV; FY22 Q2: 9 HIV & 1 HCV
Participating in GC 10/28/21 "Spooky Afternoon" event yielded more participants (8 students)
Rescheduled November Garrett College event to 12/1/21
Prep for events more intensive than expected, but provides a base for future events
ACT
Describe what modifications in the plan will be made for the next cycle from what you learned:
What worked:
Promotion (email, flyers, and leaflets) focused specifically on testing event
Linking with activity already scheduled at Garrett College
Challenge areas:
Time and effort directed towards GC event was effective, but still need to build a base of information on MyGarrettCounty.com
Revision of PDSA Cycle #2 will focus on:
Continuing intensive promotion of scheduled testing events and building partnerships with local medical and behavioral health providers to encourage referrals for rapid testing services.
Contacting community groups to schedule rapid testing events
