The purpose of HIV Case Management is to help clients overcome individual barriers to achieve and maintain each level of care in the HIV Care Continuum. The ultimate goal of HIV Case Management is for clients to reach and maintain the final stage of the HIV Care Continuum, viral suppression, resulting in transition to discharge from HIV Case Management.
HIV Case Management utilizes the HIV Continuum of Care to identify gaps and challenges preventing clients from achieving and maintaining viral suppression.
Provincial services, First Nations Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB), and Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority (NITHA) are encouraged to adapt the Saskatchewan HIV Case Management Guiding Principles to meet the individual needs of their clients. The available resources and services in various former regional health authorities across the province with respect to staff and broader community resources must also be considered.
