1. Planned PEPFAR TX_PVLS changes in FY19

2. TX_PVLS
Preferred data source: Clinical data sources (e.g. electronic or paper patient-level records)
Acceptable data source: LIS
Only VL tests with recorded results and VL results that are linked back to patients should be included in the numerator or denominator of this indicator.

3. TX_PVLS: Changes Main changes: Reasons for the Changes:
Quarterly reporting
Report 12 months of data every quarter, crossing FYs
Reasons for the Changes:
Increased frequency of monitoring VL testing coverage and outcomes
12 months of reporting each quarter because of challenges with de- duplication, if summing up quarterly data across multiple quarters in the FY

4. TX_PVLS: 12 month periods reported each quarter

5. TX_PVLS: How prepared are we for the changes
HMIS 106a has been revised to meet the new changes – rollout may affect reporting
VL database cleanup to remove false duplicates
Routine quarterly data cleaning to complete age and sex (these should be checked at hub/facility)
Strengthening longitudinal tracking – ensure all patient VL records in database are matched in patient charts
