Abstract

This article focuses on a project at Madigan Army Medical Center (Tacoma, WA) aimed at re-engaging military health care beneficiaries with expired HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescriptions. Using a custom algorithm within the Military Health System (MHS) Genesis electronic health record (EHR), patients with expired oral emtricitabine-tenofovir (T/FTC) prescriptions were identified and contacted by phone to assess ongoing PrEP indications and facilitate follow-up care. Of those reached, 80% agreed to resume PrEP services, resulting in a 30% increase in patients receiving PrEP at the institution and demonstrating that systematic EHR queries combined with active outreach can improve adherence and preventive care utilization. The intervention was efficient, sustainable, and suggests potential applicability to other health systems and medications requiring adherence.
