Description:
The research described in this report investigated whether facility-based teams that had been trained and coached to develop and implement improvements in performance of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) algorithm through problem-solving teams would improve case management. The study compared 21 facilities with teams and 14 without, all in rural facilities in Kenya. The teams developed nine different types of solutions to problems they identified at their facilities: The most frequent solutions included procuring more IMCI drugs, introducing a clocking-in register, and initiating on-the-job training.
