FY08 Collaborative Ugandan PHE- UG.08.0205: Multi-country HRH Impact of Task Shifting Type II for ART

Delivery on Patient and Process Outcomes in Emergency Plan Countries

The multi-country PHE 'Impact of task shifting type II for ART delivery on patient and process outcomes in

Emergency Plan Countries" will be conducted in Uganda, Nigeria, and Tanzania. The primary objective of

this evaluation is to determine if primary patient care and treatment outcomes are equivalent over 24

months of follow-up across three provider delivery models: clinician-initiated ART/refills; clinician-initiated

ART with nurse follow-up/refills; and nurse-initiated ART with follow-up/refills. If equivalence is

demonstrated, it will provide a strong impetus for legislative and operational action to accelerate task

shifting across Emergency Plan countries, allowing much greater access to life saving ART.
