The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funds organizations that provide comprehensive, coordinated family-centered and community-based services to children, youth, and women living with HIV and their families. As either direct Ryan White Program service providers or administrators of Part D funds for a network, Part D grantees are responsible for the same type of quality management activities as organizations funded under Parts A through C. They must have a written quality management plan in place, routinely collect performance data, and conduct agency-wide quality improvement activities. The network grantees face the additional task of coordinating services among the various subcontractors and build their capacity for quality improvement, including data collection and quality management infrastructure development.
