PROGRAMMATIC IMPLICATIONS OF IMPLEMENTING THE RELATIONAL ALGEBRAIC CAPACITATED LOCATION (RACL) ALGORITHM OUTCOMES ON THE ALLOCATION OF LABORATORY SITES, TEST VOLUMES, PLATFORM DISTRIBUTION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Programmatic implications of implementing the relational algebraic capacitated location (RACL) algorithm outcomes on the allocation of laboratory sites, test volumes, platform distribution and space requirements

Introduction: CD4 testing in South Africa is based on an integrated tiered service delivery model that matches testing demand with capacity.The National Health Laboratory Service has predominantly implemented laboratory-based CD4 testing.Coverage gaps, over-/under-capacitation Kitchen Knife Sets and optimal placement of point-of-care (POC) testing
