BACKGROUND: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective at reducing the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition in at-risk individuals; however, it is largely underutilized. The Veterans Health Administration has created an HIV PrEP dashboard to identify at-risk veterans in attempt to increase PrEP enrollment.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether the use of an HIV PrEP dashboard would prove effective at increasing PrEP enrollment at a single facility.
METHODS: This was a single-center quality improvement project. Three pharmacists used the HIV PrEP dashboard and retrospective chart review to identify eligible patients for PrEP. A multimodal process of contacting patients was conducted. The primary objective was to evaluate the number of patients who enrolled in PrEP during the study period. Secondary objectives included evaluating the ability of the HIV PrEP dashboard to identify eligible patients, identify effective strategies to target PrEP enrollment, and compare those patients who accepted with those who declined PrEP to evaluate barriers to enrollment.
RESULTS: Of the 94 patients reviewed, 26 patients (27.7%) were found eligible for PrEP. Of the eligible patients, 3 patients (11.5%) were enrolled, and 7 patients (26.9%) declined PrEP. The others were lost to follow-up (9 of 26, 34.6%), had no action taken on a chart note to provider (6 of 26, 23.1%), or did not have a primary care provider assigned at the local facility (1 of 26, 3.9%). The 3 patients who were successfully enrolled in PrEP were all contacted and prescribed PrEP through the infectious diseases (ID) clinic. There were no statistically significant differences between the cohorts of patients who accepted and declined PrEP.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of an HIV PrEP dashboard aided in identifying eligible patients for PrEP. Enrollment through the ID clinic was the most successful modality. Further research is needed to characterize barriers to PrEP uptake and to develop strategies to increase prescribing from non-ID providers.
