AB This study examines the range of ambulatory care services provided to
people with HIV, or screened for HIV. It involved a 2 or 3 week
prospective data collection of services provided on an ambulatory basis
at 14 hospitals and clinics, including one private general practice.
Data for ambulatory consultations, HIV screening services and same day
patients were included. Detailed demographic, clinical and treatment
information (including CD4 cell count, Centres for Disease Control HIV
surveillance category, level of disability, diagnostic tests ordered,
treatment procedures conducted and data on medications) was captured for
each client presentation. Apart from the development of a visit-based
casemix classification, the analysis has allowed us to build a unique
profile of clients being treated in ambulatory care, as well as
describing the utilisation of clinician care and ancillary services.
Major findings of the study, of interest both from the perspective of
clinical medicine and HIV Clinical Unit management, will be presented.
