VHW-level quality of care measures
Measure | In >70% of encounters n (%)* |
In >84% of encounters n (%)* |
VHWs providing correct care for malaria | 38 (100) | 34 (89) |
VHWs providing correct care for presumed pneumonia | 35 (92) | 30 (79) |
VHWs providing correct care for diarrhoea | 36 (95) | 29 (76) |
VHWs providing overall correct care | 24 (63) | 7 (18) |
VHWs providing overall correct care, excluding referral of patients with negative RDT | 35 (92) | 16 (42) |
*The 70% and 84% thresholds were chosen to accord with our prior lot quality assurance sampling approach, allowing for comparison between the two studies
RDT, rapid diagnostic test; VHW, village health worker.
