APLA Diagnosis Form PDF Details

The APLA Diagnosis Form is a structured reporting tool designed for licensed, practicing physicians in Los Angeles County. Completed forms allow AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) to provide coordinated care and targeted support to individuals living with HIV or AIDS.

The form records patient identification details alongside critical diagnostic information: the date of HIV or AIDS diagnosis, current symptoms, opportunistic infections, and key laboratory data including CD4 cell count and HIV viral load. Physicians also document the Karnofsky Scale Assessment, skilled nursing care requirements, dental health status, and tuberculosis screening results.

Physicians managing patients with related conditions may also need a Negative HIV Test Form to confirm a patient's current status, or an Attending Physician Statement for insurance documentation. California-licensed physicians can also find the California Participating Physician Form in our catalog for provider enrollment purposes.

Fill out as much information as possible on the APLA Diagnosis Form to give AIDS Project Los Angeles a complete picture of each patient's medical needs. Thorough documentation directly supports better care coordination and resource allocation for individuals in the community.

How to Edit Apla Diagnosis Form Online for Free

The APLA Diagnosis Form is a one-page document that licensed physicians complete and submit to AIDS Project Los Angeles. Follow the steps below to fill out the form correctly and ensure it meets APLA reporting requirements.

Step 1: Enter Patient Identification Information

Record the patient's full legal name, date of birth, and address at the top of the form. Include any identification or case numbers assigned by APLA or the treating facility. Accurate identification data is required for APLA to match the form to existing patient records.

Step 2: Document the HIV or AIDS Diagnosis Date

Enter the date of the patient's initial HIV diagnosis and, if applicable, the date the condition progressed to AIDS. These dates anchor the patient's care timeline and help APLA determine eligibility for specific support programs.

Step 3: Record Current Symptoms and Opportunistic Infections

List all current symptoms and active opportunistic infections. Common opportunistic infections documented on this form include Pneumocystis pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, and cytomegalovirus. Complete this section as thoroughly as possible to give APLA a full picture of the patient's health status.

Step 4: Enter Laboratory Values

Record the most recent CD4 cell count and HIV viral load from laboratory tests. These values help APLA determine appropriate care levels and connect the patient with the right support resources. Include the date each test was performed.

Step 5: Complete the Karnofsky Scale Assessment

Use the Karnofsky Performance Scale to rate the patient's functional capability. Scores range from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater independent function. This rating helps APLA assess whether the patient requires skilled nursing care or other intensive support services.

Step 6: Address Additional Care Needs

Complete the sections on skilled nursing care requirements, dental health status, and tuberculosis screening results. If TB screening has not been completed, note this on the form. Each of these fields guides APLA's resource allocation decisions for the individual patient.

Step 7: Sign and Submit the Completed Form

The treating physician must sign and date the completed APLA Diagnosis Form. Submit the signed form directly to AIDS Project Los Angeles for processing. APLA reviews each submission to assign care coordinators and direct appropriate community resources to the patient.
