"Clinic": allocation—or "ring-fencing"—of a specific portion of a facility’s capacity to deliver a defined set of services, such as HIV or diabetes care.
We propose incorporating this concept into the HealthSystem module as follows:
-
Capabilities available at a facility are divided between two categories: "clinic time", which is dedicated exclusively to specific types of appointments, and "fungible time", which can be used for all other services. At this time, we would only capture this at an average level, i.e. if a facility operates a specific clinic one day per week, one-seventh of its capacity would be allocated to clinic time, with the remaining six-sevenths designated as fungible time.
-
When operating in mode 2, HSIs would only be able to access capacity within their corresponding category—either clinic time or fungible time—thereby effectively ring-fencing resources for particular interventions.
