O UTLINE PFaCTS implementation Current characteristics – Context – Facility – Clinic Comprehensiveness of HIV Care Service Summary Implications
CT S UMMARY (1) Overall, ICAP facilities maintained high survey completeness High on-site availability of essential HIV care services Counseling and testing PMTCT TB treatment ART adherence counseling Outreach Nutritional counseling Secondary prevention
CT S UMMARY (2) The comprehensiveness of essential HIV care services at all ICAP-supported facilities increased rapidly in 2009 and seems to have stabilized Higher proportion of facilities have comprehensive services in Facilities supported by ICAP for longer time Public primary and secondary/tertiary compared to private/other
ICAP-supported facilities provide comprehensive services even though most facilities are rural and public primary facilities Scale up and expansion of ICAP support to new areas may mean not all facilities will be equipped to offer comprehensive services Combine PFaCTS results with routinely collected program and clinical data –Confirm if availability of comprehensive services is beneficial for program and patient outcomes –Advocate for wider implementation of comprehensive service delivery models I MPLICATIONS FOR HIV CARE AND TREATMENT

O UTLINE Rationale & Objectives General findings Capacity score Summary& Implications
S UMMARY ICAP supports a wide range of capacity building activities in the countries where we work Technical support areas identified include QA/QC, human resources and infrastructure Capacity at ICAP laboratories – highest at secondary and tertiary and urban facilities – increased between 2011 and 2013
I MPLICATIONS Laboratory PFaCTS can be used to identify and address technical support area needs Use of capacity scoring allows for a comprehensive approach to monitoring capacity from routinely collected PFaCTS data
PF A CTS D ATA U SE Analysis of key PFaCTS variables can identify areas for targeted technical assistance as well as achievement of program successes Innovative approaches in the use of PFaCTS data help us better understand the programs we support
