CD4 Testing and Staging Workflow

Purpose

This page outlines the clinical workflow for CD4 testing and AHD staging within the ART POC module.

Step-by-Step

  1. CD4 Test Entry

    • Enter CD4 result or place lab order.
    • Capture test location and date.
  2. Auto-Staging

    • System computes WHO staging based on symptoms and test results.
    • CD4 < 200 triggers AHD warning.
  3. Trigger Criteria for AHD Screening

    • CD4 < 200
    • WHO stage 3 or 4
    • Critical illness flags from vitals
  4. System Prompt

    • System presents a pop-up:

      "Client meets AHD screening criteria. Proceed to OI screening?"
