Purpose
The purpose of the Ryan White Part A quality management standards and measures is to ensure that a uniformity of service exists in
the Atlanta Eligible Metropolitan Area (EMA) such that the consumers of a service receive the same quality of service regardless of
where the service is provided. If an agency is unable to meet a particular standard, the agency must document why the standard was
unable to be met and explain the steps it is taking to meet that standard.
Application of Standards
These standards apply to all agencies that are funded to provide Ryan White Part A services in the Atlanta EMA.
Acknowledgements
Fulton County would like to thank all of the EMAs that shared their standards, as well as the members of the various task forces and
committees who gave generously of their time to provide valuable input to the development of these quality management standards
and measures.
