When discussing with a client whether to share or not share their information with other ARIES providers they receive services from, it is useful to highlight the pros and cons of sharing. The following document can be used to assist in this discussion, and is available in both English and Spanish.
This document is available in both English and Spanish and provides an in-depth description of information sharing in ARIES. Both clients and providers should review this document for a better understanding of the share/non-share concept.
When setting up your contracts within ARIES, it is important to note the units attached to each service category. OA has developed standardized units of service for application in all contracts. These standardized units will be imposed within ARIES for each primary and secondary service (and in turn passed down to the Agency subservice). Below is the ARIES Service Hierarchy defining the standardized units for each service category. In addition, the Service Hierarchy shows how your service will be reported in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Services Report (RSR). Items with "False" in the isShared column are not shared outside the agency of origin, even for shared clients.
The Needs Assessment configuration file (below) controls the dropdown values on the ARIES Needs Assessment, Care Plan, and Referral screens. Items with "False" in the isShared column are not shared outside the agency of origin, even for shared clients.
