This page includes medical case management record review results. These results, as well as medical, oral health, psychosocial and substance abuse record reviews are found on the Record Reviews and Reports page.

  • Medical Case Management Technical Assistance

    The Continuous Quality Improvement Program offers monthly on-site technical assistance at all Miami-Dade County Ryan White Program agencies. Technical assistance visits are part of a continuous quality improvement process designed to identify and resolve problems and weaknesses, both agency-specific and system-wide. The goal of the visits is to prevent the development of chronic problems. Along with regularly conducted system-wide record reviews, and the submission of quarterly record reviews by each provider agency, the visits allow CQI staff to systematically focus on quality improvement areas (e.g., the financial assessment and eligibility determination).

    Technical assistance site visits aim to ensure:

  • Compliance with medical case management standards
  • Identification of areas requiring improvement
  • Recognition of agency strengths

  • For more information, contact Ariela Eshel, Quality Management Coordinator.
