Abstract:
Background: There has been a rapid increase in morbidity and mortality arising
from non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The Academic Model Providing Access to
Healthcare (AMPATH) program has established a chronic disease management program
in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Kenya at over 150 health facilities in
western Kenya. The primary health integrated care for chronic (PIC4C) disease project
seeks to deliver preventive, promotive, and curative care for diabetes, hypertension,
cervical and breast cancers at the primary health care level. We apply the RE-AIM
framework to conduct a process evaluation of the integrated PIC4C model. This
paper describes the protocol we are using in the PIC4C process evaluation planning
