  1. Redesigning Nurses Work Thomasine D. Guberski, PhD, CRNP Associate Professor University of Maryland School of Nursing Track 1 Meeting September 24, 2007

  2. Scope of the Problem • Increasing number of patients • Number of medical officers • Range is 4.1 (Tanzania) to 26.9 (Nigeria) MO per 100 000 • Number of nurses • Range is 11.3 (Zambia) to 108 (Kenya) per 100 000 World Bank, 2004

  4. Breaking the paradigm • How do we effectively shift to new care paradigm, without losing quality of care? • Break the paradigm that ART care must be given only by MO and CO • Implementation of the team model for HIV care • Formally increase patient care responsibilities for nurses • The redesign of nursing roles and responsibilities to more effectively care for patients with HIV/AIDS requires a different level of authority, responsibility and accountability

  5. Current Initiatives • Strengthen community nursing care for all HIV+ patients • Nurses assume primary responsibility for patient triage in all settings • Follow stable patients on ARV therapy in a variety of settings • Train community health workers to assess symptoms • Facilitate transition from episodic to continuity care • Develop, implement and evaluate the nursing roles and responsibilities in the treatment plan for their institution. • Design, implement and evaluate clinic structure and flow for continuity care.

  6. Current Initiatives • Establish nurse-run clinics in which the nurses will provide care to patients across the spectrum of HIV: • diagnose and manage common opportunistic infections • assess and manage common signs and symptoms in HIV infected patients • provide community nursing for enrolled patients • refer patients for and provide palliative care • follow patients on ARV therapy • recognize appropriate referral parameters • refer patients to the MO/CO as appropriate

  7. Successes and Challenges • Breaking the paradigm that only MO/CO can enroll patients • Improvements in patient flow • Nurse run refill clinics • Triage in home-based care • Nurse run clinics in Rwanda • Nurse run clinics in Mombasa • Nurse practice acts • Sustainability

  10. Shifting the paradigm • How do we effectively shift to new care paradigm, without losing quality of care?

  11. How to Make Paradigm Shift a Reality • Include nurses in all phases of planning and implementation • Shift responsibility for stable ART patient care to nurses • Increase MO responsibility for unstable general care patients • Implement nurse triage in all settings • Improve recognition of potential OI’s by all nurses • Community nurse referral required for all unscheduled, non-emergency visits • Increase education and responsibility of community health workers • Implement paradigm shifting protocols across all settings
