PEN Implementation Study

Plain-language summary

There is a gap in the implementation of PEN services as well as in the monitoring and evaluation of the WHO PEN in Nepal. One reason for such gaps is due to a lack of team-based care in low-resource settings like Nepal. Both peer coaching and clinical audit have been shown to be cost-effective ways to improve NCD care. However, no data is available regarding its implementation and outcome. Besides, there is a lack of a proven module of peer coaching and clinical audit for effective NCD care implementation. To address this gap, the investigators designed an intervention to reinforce peer coaching and clinical audit practices in health facilities to improve WHO PEN implementation for better NCD management in Nepal. Aims of Implementation Research * To assess implementation outcomes (acceptability, adoption, feasibility, penetration, cost and sustainability) of onsite-peer coaching and clinical audit reinforcement intervention on PEN Program implementation at primary healthcare centers. * To evaluate the effectiveness of onsite-peer coaching and clinic audit reinforcement intervention in PEN program delivery at health facilities. * To identify barriers and enabling factors impacting the adoption of onsite-peer coaching and clinical audit in the implementation of the PEN program.
