TX Suppression Rate Calculations on TX Tab #15

Closed CharlottePCOMOZ closed 5 years ago

CharlottePCOMOZ commented 5 years ago

In Column F you calculate the # of people with suppressed viral load through targeted testing. Targeted testing is defined as “viral load tests ordered based on a specific clinical indication, (e.g., concern about disease progression or failure to respond to ART).” In this calculation the same viral load suppression rate is used as for routine viral load testing. It does not make sense to expect the same viral suppression rate when the test is performed for concern about failure to respond to ART as for routine viral load testing. Suggestion: Column AD (VL suppression rate) be divided into one column for Routine VL suppression rate and another for Targeted VL suppression rate.

@WilliamShiflett - Could you add a ticket in COP 19 repo with title: "Coordinate with Kristine about whether to separate targeted VL suppression rates by Targeted vs. Routing"?
