At treatment initiation a suitable Treatment Supporter has to be identified and assigned to the Patient.

How to identify a Treatment supporter for a patient 

  • The Treatment Supporter has to be acceptable and accessible to the patient and accountable to the health system.
  • Should be identified in mutual consultation with the patient and provider, during pre-treatment evaluation.
  • The Treatment Supporter can either be a healthcare worker, community worker/ volunteer, private practitioner or family member.
  • Should be able to receive training on drug administration, adherence monitoring, ADR referrals etc., and perform these functions. 

Assigning a Treatment Supporter to a Patient 

Once the Treatment Supporter is identified, the patient records (Ni-kshay & treatment card) have to be updated by assigning the treatment supporter (prior registration in Ni-kshay is a pre-requisite) to the patient. See the steps below to assign a Treatment Supporter to the episode of a patient.

Treatment Supporters are eligible to receive the Treatment Supporters Honorarium as a Direct Benefit Transfer. However, to receive the DBT he/she should not be a salaried government employee.

NOTE:

  1. Only one Treatment Supporter can be assigned to an episode with status "OnTreatment" of the patient
  2. Treatment Supporters can be assigned by both the current PHI/ TU user.
  3. If required, a Treatment Supporter can be removed/ replaced by another Treatment Supporter anytime during the treatment.
