Quality Improvement

In a stepped wedge fashion all 7 PHC clinics will receive QI one by one (exception: the two smallest clinics will be rolled into one step). Each step is of 2 months' duration. The study will commence with baseline data collection across all clinics, before the first randomised clinic receives the QI intervention. The QI intervention involves the following activities at each clinic: \[1\] Situational Analysis: assessment of clinic needs and gaps in processes that influence the specified study endpoints; \[2\] Intensive Intervention Phase (2 months): the clinic QI team (healthcare facility staff) with support of CRH QI mentors maps clinic processes and establishes priorities for process improvements through identification of bottlenecks, root-causes and commence plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles; \[3\] Maintenance Phase (duration varies for each clinic based on stepped wedge study design): clinic processes are further improved through iterative PDSA cycles; \[4\] Follow up.
