Provide Missing Data Located During Investigative and/or Programmatic Activity to HIV Surveillance Unit for Review and Quality Assurance
During Data to Care investigative and/or programmatic activities, health departments that discover information that was missing from the initial “not in care” line list extracted from the HIV surveillance database should provide that information back to the HIV surveillance program so that the program can update individual records. Examples of such information include an individual’s address, telephone number(s), provider name and contact information, or recent laboratory results. The HIV surveillance program should review and verify new data for quality assurance purposes before adding them to the HIV surveillance database.
