TERMS OF REFERENCESFORConsultancy on Health Qual Assessment in RegionsIntroductionHEALTHQUAL is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Health (National AIDS Progamme Secretariat and Maternal and Child Health Department), and the Georgetown Health QUAL International. The overarching goal of the Project is to improve the quality of care provided to all children and people living with HIV/AIDS in Guyana. For Maternal and Child Health, HEALTHQUAL intends to improve the quality of well child care of children uninfected with HIV. The Project balances quality improvement and performance measurement while building a solid foundation of programmatic infrastructure. The main indicators that are assessed for child health are as follows:Vaccinations – Up to Date - Proportion of children with age-appropriate vaccines administered.Weight Monitoring – Proportion of children with weight measured at each clinic visit.Height/Length measurements – Proportion of children with height/length measured at each clinic visit.Head Circumference measurements - Proportion of children under 2 years old with head circumference measured at each clinic visit. Weight for Age Plotted on the growth chart - Proportion of children with “Weight for Age” plotted along curves on WHO Reference Growth Chart at every clinic visit.Developmental Milestones Assessment - Proportion of children with developmental milestones assessed at each clinic visit. In the Primary Health Care setting HEALTHQUAL was implemented initially as a pilot in 10 clinics, five well child and five clinics that provide both HIV and well child care. Currently, all regions have implemented health qual. Challenges have existed with the full implementation of this programme since the Information Technologist (IT) has left the programme.
