At a crossroads where medicine meets the long arc of a public health crisis, two researchers in North Carolina have secured federal funding to do what fragmented data has long prevented: follow people with HIV across the full landscape of their care, from hospitalization back into the community. The LINC-NC study weaves together records from three major health systems, 34 hospitals, and statewide surveillance data to illuminate why some patients stay connected to treatment while others quietly disappear from care. It is, at its core, an effort to close a gap that costs lives — and to build the

HIV patients may experience improved care coordination and reduced treatment gaps through better discharge planning and follow-up systems. Indirect benefits include lower hospital readmission rates and improved long-term health outcomes, potentially reducing out-of-pocket costs for vulnerable populations.
Study findings may inform state and federal HIV care policies, hospital discharge protocols, and reimbursement models. Results could drive regulatory changes requiring better care continuity tracking and accountability measures for post-discharge outcomes. May influence CMS payment structures tied to care coordination metrics.
