Guidance for Nurse Prescription and Management of Antiretroviral Therapy

Started by Sophie Beauvais on 02 Mar 2009

Guidance for Nurse Prescription and Management of Antiretroviral Therapy by Family Health International provides a roadmap for conceptualizing and initiating the expansion of the nursing scope of practice to include ART prescription and management. It describes processes that HIV program implementers can use to consider the need for, and implications of, nurse-prescribed and nurse-managed ART in resource constrained settings. It also considers additional resources that may be necessary to introduce the new practice to current healthcare facilities.




Table of Contents include:
Process: Planning and Implementing the Management of ART by Nurses

Phase 1: Determining need and feasibility.

Phase 2: Preparation

Phase 3: Implementing the process

Phase 4: Institutionalizing the management of ART-related practices by nurses

Annexes:
- Cadres of Healthcare Workers Caring for HIV/AIDS Patients
- Pilot Project to Decentralize ARV Prescription to Nurses in Rwanda: Key Elements of the Process
- Delegation (Illustrative) of ART-Related Practices by Cadre
- Illustrative Role Relationships
