The aim of this investigation is to conduct an implementation research to facilitate and evaluate the implementation of VCT((Videoconsult through telemedicine) among HIV HCP(healthcare providers) and PLWH(people living with HIV)
Through prospective observational methodology the investigators are planning to evaluate VCT(Videoconsult through telemedicine) implementation. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis (mixed methods) will take part in the assessment. Quantitative data will be useful to obtain objective data in terms of proportion of subjects using the intervention, adoption by health care workers and measuring effectiveness. Additionally, qualitative methods will help to understand the outcomes focusing on the barriers and facilitators from both the HCW and patients, and their feedback on continuous implementation. Hence, perceptions of a vast group of patients and HCW will take a critical point in the qualitative analysis. Finally, by evidencing effectiveness, the investigators will be able to generalize and maintain this intervention as a good clinical practice. Due to the scope of the outcomes, the investigators will use RE-AIM framework.
