  1. ART Set-up and Procurement Unit 3 HIV Care and ART: A Course for Healthcare Providers

  2. Learning Objectives • Explain the continuum of HIV Care • Recognize the multidisciplinary (MD, RN, RP, CHCW) team approach to the chronic illness care model • Explain why the ART practice model requires patient flow and interventional definition at every clinic stop • Describe the clinical communication tools and forms required for effective multidisciplinary team practice

  3. Learning Objectives (2) • Describe ART practice setup • Identify the minimum requirements for ART practice • Describe the art of maximizing minimum resources • Identify the components of drug management

  4. Practice Care Model

  5. ART Practice • Family-centered without the exclusion of the individual • MD-led • RN-coordinated • Multidisciplinary (MD, RN, RP, Lab, CHCW) team practice

  6. Continuum of Care Model • Continuity of care provided at home to care or evaluation performed in any health care setting by specialists, generalists and primary care providers: • Home based care • Community care • Health facility based care

  7. ART Care Model • Multidisciplinary (Team) Effort: • Minimum Team Members: MD, RN, RP, CHCW Physician Social Worker Nurse Patient Pharmacist Community HC Worker TGK/ITECH/9.03

  8. Maximizing the Minimum 5% Patients with chronic illness’ care provider needs SP 35% MD Non-MD PA/ HO, MSW, RPh Nut, RN 60% “Workload could safely and legally be delegated to the appropriate level.” TGK/PSHCS, Primary Care

  9. ART Patient Flow

  10. Think About the Patient Experience • Safety: Communicable diseases, emergency • Comfort: Seats, shelter • Wait time • Distance between services • Unnecessary travel between stops

  11. Justify the Stops • Is it essential? • What would the patient lose if it was not there? • What would the organization lose if it were not there? • Is more than one stop necessary on the same visit?

  12. The Patient’s Route • Registration • Record room • OPD • HIV/ART clinic • Lab • Pharmacy

  13. Ideal Patient Flow Arrival area: RN triage: • the emergent • patients with cough x > 2 weeks • FU visits: scheduled, unscheduled Coughers: Exam room • RN further evaluation based on protocol • order sputum, x-ray • call in MD to examine Waiting area: • Patient ed: videos on nutrition, healthy living, etc • Patient ed live to answer patient questions on HIV care (dispel myths, etc) Emergent: Exam room • RN evaluate • call in MD after patient prepared for MD evaluation Registration desk/window: New • capture pertinent data • issue HIV care patient pocket book/passport New & enrolled • issue visit # • prepare medical chart • direct to the waiting area RN evaluation room • Hx (standard New/FU doc form) • VS, wt • intro to HIV care General exam room: • RN briefly summarizes ,patients issues • MD takes over RN counseling/disposition room: • Review MD instructions and go over them with patient • schedule patient • ART counseling • . Needs assessment, nutrition, etc Pharmacy: • ART counseling visit 1 • ART counseling visit 2 • ART adherence & safety review FU clinical servicesHome Case manager Health CenterCommunity Resources TGK 5/05

  17. ART Practice Setup

  18. ART Practice Setup Minimum Needs • Structure • Staff • Space • Tools • Process • Clinic stop interventions • Follow up • Monitoring System • Clinical • Safety • Efficacy • Operations/management • Outcome • Performance

  19. ART Practice • Multidisciplinary, generalist or specialist led • Family-centered primary care • Comprehensive • Continuous • Accountable (quality, cost) • To patients • To management • Teaching institutions should consider a stand alone HIV care clinic

  20. Management of Waiting List: • Establish HIV/AIDS committee • Committee will have to meet weekly • Set up an open access HIV clinic • Grandfather those on Tx • Mothers first priority • Gender equity • Prioritize anyone under 18 years old • Take family size and family earner into account • Priority of last resort= 1st come 1st served

  21. Coordinator Review ART DATA + waiting list status Report to Committee • Update list • Prepare action-plan • Take action • Report to management HIV/AIDS Committee Members: Director/Chair ART MD ART RN ART pharmacists ART Lab technician Coordinator staffs the meeting

  22. Pediatrics Priorities: • Age cut off <10 years (because children older than 10 can swallow pills, therefore are grouped with adults) • The sickest children must go first • Children <5 years tend to perish rapidly with HIV/AIDS

  23. Clinical Tools & Resources • Provider resources: • 3x5 cards: WHO staging, Karnofsky’s performance scale, etc • Ring Pocket books: Pathophysiology, medicine dosages, interactions, side-effects, OIs • Wall Posters: Flow charts & algorithms, etc • Patient resources: • Brochures • Patient instructions • Forms: • Provider documentation • Communication forms • Data capture and collection In major local languages

  24. Communication Forms • Inter-facility referral forms • Hospital Hospital • Hospital Health Center • Hospital Community • Intra-facility referral forms • ART Clinic Clinic • ART Clinic Lab • ART Clinic Pharmacy

  35. Follow-up System • Structure • Appointment book • Patient passport • Clinic schedules • Confidential patient directory • Follow up coordinators • Process • Test your system to see if it works • Have patient repeat follow up schedules • Show patient that it is in his/her passport • Instruct patient to call you if he/she wants to reschedule or for any other question

  36. Follow up System No Show Tele # of patient or support No Yes Case manager (CHCW) Call until contact established Visit

  37. Drug Management System

  38. Drug Supply Management • Develop required infrastructure • Establish process • Assure an uninterrupted supply of standard drugs • Install information system

  39. Selection, Quantification, Procurement,Distribution and Use of ARV Drugs

  40. ARV Drugs Selection • The selection of ARV drugs is based on: • The purpose of use • ART (Adult, pediatrics) • PEP • PMTCT • The level of available health institution (hospitals, drug retail outlets) • Availability of authorized prescribers and dispensers • Guidelines for the use of ARV drugs in Ethiopia • National drug lists

  41. Quantification of ARV Drugs • Quantification of ARV drugs is impacted by a complex web of factors related to: • ARV product • ART • Demand (continuation and scaling up/rollout) • Supply

  42. Quantification of ARV Drugs (2) • Issues related to ARV Product: • Shelf Life • Short expiry date • Cost • Expensive • Handling Requirements • Require secure storage • Require refrigeration/temperature control

  43. Quantification of ARV Drugs (3) • Issues related to ART: • Rapidly evolving scientific field • Impact of stock out • Taken for life • ARVs used for prevention and treatment • Multiple drug therapy (3 or more and all must be available) • Multiple regimens • Resistance evolves quickly and is inevitable

  44. Quantification of ARV Drugs (4) • Issues related to demand: • Availability of historical consumption data • Efficient patient tracking (Up-to-date patient information): • Deaths • Lost for follow-up • Transfer out, transfer in • Treatment interruptions • Unpredictable scale up • Capacity to deliver services • Changes in regimen (Wt., pregnancy, Tx failure, ADR) • Pediatrics (change in regiment/dose, wastage of liquids)

  45. Quantification of ARV Drugs (5) • Issues related to supply: • Facility capacity to overcome handling costs of large stock • Delays in disbursement of funds by donors • Level of available funding • Very few suppliers • Rapidly changing market • Prequalification/regulatory approval • Special pricing/donation • Unpredictable and long lead time

  46. Quantification of ARV Drugs (6) • Issues to consider when quantifying ARV drug requirements: • Consumption data at each health facilities • Working and buffer stock kept at different levels • Quantity of stock on hand and on back order • Lead time (time it take from ordering to delivery) • Expected consumptions during the lead time

  47. Quantification of ARV Drugs (7) • Expected consumption is influenced by: • Number of current patients and their regimen • Anticipated scaling-up pattern • New patients on 1st line, 2nd line (adult and pediatrics) • Likely changes in prescribing patterns due to: • Revised STG, changes in registration status of ARV drugs, procurement constraints, varying composition of patient groups, non-naïve patients with non-standard regimen
