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?"
