Testing a Registry-Based Strategy (ACT+) to Reduce Loss to Follow-Up in Rheumatic Heart Disease Screening in Uganda (SHIELD 2)

Developing and Testing a Registry-Enabled Strategy (ACT+) to Reduce Loss to Follow-Up Between Screening and Confirmation of Rheumatic Heart Disease in Uganda

This study aims to improve follow-up care after positive rheumatic heart disease (RHD) screening in Northern Uganda. It will identify barriers and co-develop an enhanced ACT+ strategy, then evaluate its effectiveness in increasing linkage to confirmatory echocardiography, along with its adoption, acceptability, and feasibility. Secondary outcomes include time to diagnosis, initiation of treatment, and factors influencing implementation.

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
无干预:Inspiration/Discovery (1A)
Semi-structured qualitative interviews with screen-positive community members (or parents/guardians of community members) and ADUNU providers to characterize multilevel barriers and facilitators.
无干预:Ideation/Design (1B)
A structured participatory design workshop with a 15-member HCD expert panel, followed by iterative co-design sessions to produce finalized ACT+ features and workflows.
有源比较器:Healthcare Facilities will receive ACT+ Intervention

The ACT+ strategy consists of three coordinated, registry-enabled implementation components co-designed and refined through the Aim 1 HCD process.

Component 1: Digitized Pre-Confirmation Registry Entry and Patient Tracking ACT+ will enable entry of screen-positive individuals into the ACT registry at the time of positive screen (prior to confirmatory diagnosis).

Component 2: Patient Tracing and Reminder System ACT+ will support automated and semi-automated outreach to screen-positive who have not yet completed confirmatory echocardiography.

Component 3: Audit and Feedback for Providers and Facilities ACT+ dashboards will provide facility-level, real-time feedback on LTFU rates, confirmation completion, and the screening-to-SAP initiation cascade.

The Active Community Case Management Tool (ACT) is a cloud-based, dynamic RHD case management tool developed by CCHMC in partnership with global stakeholders, including UHI and the RRCU. ACT provides real-time data on patient status, clinical outcomes, and care processes, supporting both individual patient management (electronic medical record functions) and system-level quality improvement (registry and dashboard functions).
无干预:Control: Standard of Care
Facilities in the control arm will continue current standard ADUNU practice: screen-positive individuals receive verbal and written referral information to one of three confirmatory sites immediately following screening.
