Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an enhanced package of support for activities described in the "Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Patient Tracing in Health Facilities in Zimbabwe". This package is intended to increase the effectiveness of active patient tracing activities by developing tools, providing mentorship and implementing systematic review of processes to improve communication, coordination, and supervision between community health workers and facility-based staff.
Detailed Description:
This study consists of a pre-/post- intervention rapid assessment of SOP implementation in study health facilities. The rapid assessment includes a facility audit, and the cross-verification of Mother-baby pair service records, and scheduled appointments. Following the baseline rapid assessment, the research team implements the proposed intervention package in health facilities randomly assigned to the intervention arm of the study. Data collectors conduct monthly visits to study facilities in order to extract appointment attendance information from PMTCT, ART, pharmacy, HIV exposed infants (HEI), and early infant diagnoses (EID) service registers.
