Aktiver Komparator: OSS Phase 1
Thirty-six sites will receive the On Site Support service (OSS) activities for nine to 15 months; 18 will be randomly assigned to receive the OSS in phase 1
|
On-Site-Support (OSS) service training will occur monthly for a period of 9 months.
This training and supervision will support the proper utilization of newly learned clinical skills.
The IMID is a 9-month training program that begins with a three-week course at the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) in Kampala Uganda.
After the course participants engage in 12 weeks of distance learning followed by a one-week boost course at the IDI.
Then the engage in 12 more weeks of distance learning and a final one-week boost course.
This intervention is offered to two clinicians (clinical officers or registered nurses or midwives) at every OSS Phase 1 and OSS Phase 2 site.

Aktiver Komparator: OSS Phase 2
Thirty-six sites will receive the OSS activities for nine to 15 months; 18 will be randomly assigned to receive the OSS in phase 2 that will serve as a control group in phase 1 and receive OSS nine months later.

Model of Integrated Capacity Building Program
Zeitfenster: monthly over 3 years
|
The principal output of this evaluation will be a proven model of an integrated capacity-building package for the care and prevention of infectious disease in Africa.
The package will include a single curriculum for MLP and a portfolio of on-site support services founded on Accordia Global Health Foundation's considerable experience in training clinicians in North America and Africa.

Competence of individual clinicians
Zeitfenster: 3 observations at pre/post IMID and final
|
Competence of individual clinicians will be measured by scores on 12 written case scenarios or vignettes.
Three blocks of 4 scenarios each covered different aspects of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and other infectious diseases and included cases involving children, adults, and pregnant women.
Each case scenario addressed 6 principal domains: emergency or danger signs, history and physical examination, laboratory testing, diagnosis or classification of patients' medical problems; initial treatment or referral plan, and evolution of the case over time.

3 observations at pre/post IMID and final

|
Practice of individual clinicians
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Endline (9 months)
|
Clinical assessments will be conducted by mobile team faculty who will observe individual clinicians during five outpatient visits with children under five years and five HIV clinic visits.
Clinical practice will be assessed on history, physical examination, review of medical records (HIV clinic only), laboratory investigations ordered, diagnosis, treatment prescribed and patient education.

Clinical performance indicators
Zeitfenster: Monthly beginning 5 months before OSS
|
54 clinical performance indicators used by the Ministry of Health, the Uganda Malaria Surveillance Program or recommended by international organizations will be used to measure performance in general areas: 1) HIV prevention, 2) HIV care, 3) Antiretroviral therapy, 4) TB/HIV care, 5) Case management of respiratory infections, 6) Case Management of Fever, and 7) Emergency Triage and Treatment.

Reduce Infection, Illness, and Mortality Rates
Zeitfenster: 3 years
|
The population in the areas surrounding the proposed sites will benefit directly from lower infection, illness and mortality rates.
The improved ability of clinic staff to deliver quality prevention and care services will increase access to cost-effective interventions delivered according to national guidelines by 9% to 25% depending on the intervention.
