Centralized Patient Care Data Management System
The Centralized Patient Care Data Management System (CPCDMS) is a computer
database application that allows Ryan White funded agencies and other users to share
client eligibility information and to document services delivered to clients. CPCDMS
also provides information needed to evaluate client health outcomes.
In 1998 the Ryan White Planning Council for the Houston eligible metropolitan area (EMA) decided that there was a need for a
client-level reporting system. There were several capabilities that the Council desired: compiling and
tracking service utilization, centralizing client intake, supporting a unit cost based reimbursement
structure, assisting in the coordination of client care, and decreasing administrative burden on the
service providers.
Challenges
- Initial community hesitancy to collect data on HIV+/AIDS clients
- Streamline data collection for HIV at-risk population, especially those consumers with little to no technical computer skills
- Streamline data collection for community-based organizations (CBO) that receive grant money from Health Care Department
Key Statistics...
- ~$20 million in services managed annually
- More than 30,000 HIV+/AIDS clients within greater Harris County, Texas, have been registered with the system since 1999
- ~4 million service encounters have been recorded since 1999
- More than 45 unique CBOs have participated, with ~320 total users from various CBOs or government agencies
