CAREWare is free, scalable software for managing and monitoring HIV clinical and supportive care service delivery. CAREWare enables Ryan White funded agencies, also referred to as subrecipients, to quickly produce a completed Ryan White HIV/AIDS Services Report (RSR) as required for annual submission to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
CAREWare 6 Resources
A variety of CAREWare 6 resources may be accessed below:
The Ryan White HIV Services Program utilizes CAREWare in a real-time centralized database configuration in which client level data is stored on a secure central server. Unless otherwise specified and approved prior to funding by the Ryan White HIV Services Program, CAREWare is the required data collection and reporting system for all funded subrecipients. Submission of client level data (by means of the RSR) is a mandate of HRSA and is a requirement for funding consideration and continuation.
The Indianapolis TGA Ryan White HIV Services Program in collaboration with the Indiana Department of Health HIV Services Ryan White Part B Program is pleased to announce the introduction of a statewide centralized HIV data collection and management system. Initial stages of implementation began in July 2019 and work is now complete. For further information on the collaboration go here. This collaboration encompasses the first-ever Cross-Agency Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Services Report (RSR) Plan.
