GHSP-D-13-00053 Supplementary Material

The Zambia Defence Force has applied the Standards-Based Management and Recognition (SBM-R) approach at some of their military health facilities to improve antiretroviral therapy (ART) services. A study evaluating the effectiveness of the SBM-R approach examined 2 components of quality of care: (1) facilities' readiness to offer ART services, and (2) providers' performance during ART follow-up consultations. Readers are free to use or adapt the data collection tools below used in the study to evaluate these 2 quality components in their own programs and studies.
