Insights into HIV Care Service Comprehensiveness and Laboratory Capacity at ICAP-supported Facilities: Findings from PFaCTS 2013 Caitlin Madevu-Matson (cm3315@columbia.edu)Charon Gwynn (crg2128@columbia.edu)SI-NY
PFaCTS • Structured repeated assessment of facilities to describe the scope, diversity, capacity and comprehensiveness of ICAP-supported programs • Captures information not available from routine indicators : • Context: Location, type • Facility characteristics: Related services, e.g. ANC, MC • Clinic and lab components: Staffing configuration and training, patient support services, laboratory quality essentials • Data used for program planning, monitoring and evaluation • Reports and webinars • URS • Analyses with other data sources
PFaCTS Implementation • Care and Treatment PFaCTS • 7 rounds, 2007 - 2013 • 80 questions • Laboratory PFaCTS • 2 rounds, 2011 - 2013 • 162 questions • Assessment tools • Core questions maintained from previous round, tool revised with clinical and programs units • Data collection • Assessments completed with health facility personnel • Questionnaires reviewed by in-country ICAP clinical and M&E units • Data validated through checks and results uploaded to URS
CARE & TREATMENT PFaCTS Objectives • Present results from Care and treatment PFaCTS Round 7 • Describe the comprehensiveness of ICAP-supported programs

Countries contributing to PFaCTS Round 7 • 96% (1017/1062) of facilities with ICAP-supported care and treatment services completed PFaCTS Round 7 • In country completeness ranged from 79% to 100%

HIV Care Comprehensiveness Components Questions • Does ICAP support comprehensive HIV care programs? • Has comprehensiveness of HIV care programs changed over time? • Is there variability in the changes?

CT Summary (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 Summary (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
Implications for HIV care and treatment • 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
Outline • Rationale & Objectives • General findings • Capacity score • Summary& Implications
Laboratory PFaCTS • Captures information on the scope, diversity, and capacity of ICAP-supported laboratories • Provides information on laboratory quality essentials (QEs) • Infrastructure and equipment • Human resources • Quality assurance activities • Facility safety • Supply chain management • Two rounds of PFaCTS conducted to date (2011 & 2013)
Rationale for Laboratory PFaCTS • At the facility level: • Measure capacity and progress toward accreditation • Gap analysis and development of laboratory specific improvement plan • At the program level: • Identify gaps in implementing QEs across supported labs • Prioritization and strategy development
Objectives • To summarize findings from Lab PFaCTS 2013 • To compare laboratory capacity between years and by key characteristics
