Thank you for your interest in the BLUPrInt PrEP Patient Tracker!
We developed the BLUPrInt PrEP Patient Tracker to help clinic staff who need a better system for tracking patient appointments, reminder calls and medication assistance program applications.
We have heard from staff at clinics that some of the information they need to manage PrEP patients is not easily stored in or extracted from medical records, and PrEP navigators or counselors need to create their own systems for tracking patients …
… but who has time to build a system and do their job?
The BLUPrInt PrEP Patient Tracker is designed to capture key information in Microsoft Excel, allowing clinic staff access to a free, secure, locally stored, and easy-to-manage system.

The BLUPrInt PrEP Patient Tracker (“the Tracker”) allows you to input information about your PrEP clients, including their upcoming visits and application for medication assistance programs. The Tracker facilitates documentation of current PrEP status, appointment scheduling, prescription renewal information, past patient outreach, and patients that have been flagged for follow-up. Among other features, the PrEP Patient Tracker allows you to:
Search for patients who have upcoming visits and need reminder calls
Search for patients who need reapplication for PrEP assistance programs
Search for patients who have just started PrEP and might need a check-in
Click on each patient in the search bar to open up their individual contact information and a tracking form to log your contact with them.

The Tracker was created in Microsoft Excel—as opposed to a cloud-based sharing platform—so that it can be stored on a local drive. We recommend keeping it on a secure desktop in your facility, and password protecting the file itself. We include instructions on how to do so in our user manual.

We have created a user manual and some brief videos to get you started. We’re hoping you’ll be able to get the hang of it pretty quickly, but ultimately, we’re not sure. That’s part of what we’re hoping you’ll help us learn by piloting the PrEP Patient Tracker!

The research team is not asking for and will not have access to individual patient-level data at any point Tracker is yours to download…you can save it on your local computer and we will are not asking for any patient data or files in return.

BLUPrInt (http://www.hivbluprint.org) is an implementation science research study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that aims to develop data-driven tools and resources that can accelerate the equitable implementation and scale-up of PrEP programs.
BLUPrINT is a joint project of researchers at the Hunter Alliance for Research & Translation (HART) at the City University of New York, and the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (ADARC) at Columbia University, in collaboration with clinical partners across the U.S. We’re working together to develop best practices related to PrEP implementation strategies and cultivation of PrEP implementation tools.
