Supporting information for: The Time Requirements for Primary Care Consultations: Initial Sick Child Visits in Low- and Middle-income Countries Using the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) Clinical Algorithm
<p>Few studies have examined the time required for primary care consultations; none have focused on sick child visits in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This project begins to fill that gap by providing evidence-based estimates of the time needed for initial visits with under-five infants and children at public or not-for-profit facilities in countries using the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) clinical algorithm.</p> <p>Estimates of the mean expected duration of IMCI consultations require (a) classification profiles, i.e., tabulations of the gold standard health issues presented by patients less than 5 years old; (b) lists of the tasks included in applicable versions of the IMCI algorithm and the conditions that elicit them, and (c) an estimate of the time needed to perform tasks with no pre-defined minimum duration. The latter requires, in addition to classification profiles, information on rates of task performance and the mean observed duration of consultations.</p> <p>The IMCI clinical algorithm and the research surrounding it provide unusually rich sources of such information. Developed in the mid 1990s by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund, the IMCI algorithm seeks to reduce child mortality in LMICs by improving the technical quality of primary care services. For infants less than 2 months old, the algorithm focuses on bacterial infections, feeding problems, low weight, and, in some versions, jaundice. For children 2-59 months old, the foci include acute respiratory infections, especially pneumonia; diarrhea; fevers, especially malaria and measles; malnutrition, and anemia. Immunization status is a concern for both age groups. The algorithm provides a scheme to classify the health issues with which infants and children present, an array of tasks providers may be expected perform, and criteria by which tasks are elicited. Research on the design and utility of the algorithm, its effects on provider performance, and related topics furnishes data on the prevalence of gold standard IMCI classifications in a variety of patient populations. In some cases, it also enables one to calculate the time required to perform tasks.</p> <p>I found such information by searching MEDLINE, the database of the International Network for Rational Use of Medicines, the websites of the WHO and its regional offices, GOOGLE, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR using search terms such as ‘Integrated Management of Childhood Illness’, ‘observational’, ‘prospective’, ‘classification’, ‘clinical signs’, ‘health facility survey’, and ‘validity’. I also reviewed studies that cited a qualified study and, conversely, material included in the bibliographies of qualified studies.</p> <p>The supplemental information files contain the following:</p> <p>WORKBOOK S1_STUDIES USED</p> <p>Lists features of, and sources for, the studies used to construct classification profiles and to estimate the time required to perform the average task with no predefined minimum duration. With 2 exceptions (see below, DATA S1 and DATA S2), all the studies have been published or are readily available on the internet. None of the data can be used to identify individuals.</p> <p>DATA S1_REPORT OF THE HEALTH FACILITY SURVEY IN BOTSWANA, 2007-08 and DATA S2_REPORT OF THE HEALTH FACILITY SURVEY IN TANZANIA, 2003</p> <p>PDF files of Health Facility Survey reports that were found on the internet but have since been taken down.</p> <p>DATA S3_BURKINA FASO CHART BOOKLET, 2015</p> <p>PDF provided <span>Drs.
