From PACK Global to PACK Brazil

Step

1Localisation practice run

• Assessment of PACK suitability to meet local health system needs • Adaptation of 5 guide pages covering 2 clinical topics• Familiarisation with programme content and localisation process

Step

2Guide localisation

• Review of evidence underpinning PACK Global recommendations• Examination of local burden of diseases, local disease protocols and referral pathways• Local clinician input through clinical working groups and content review • Development of new content to meet local primary health care priorities• Remote KTU mentorship of Florianópolis-based localising team, included one workshop in Brazil

Step

3Training localisation

• Localisation of training materials including cases, focusing on local clinical priorities and scope of practice• Adaptation of training video• Immersion visit to Cape Town to experience training in action and meet local implementers

Step

4Implementation

• Implementation in all 49 primary health care facilities with 152 health care clinicians trained• Ongoing maintenance training

• The PACK programme was successfully localised to the Florianópolis health care setting, augmenting a primary care strengthening intervention.

• Local protocols defining nursing scope of practice were developed alongside localisation of the PACK guide.• The KTU’s localisation and mentorship package was tested and enhanced through a feedback process, which has now been

successfully applied to further localisations.• The partnership has led to collaborative learning and research opportunities.

Localising a global health innovation: the PACK Brazil case study

The Florianópolis context

• Florianópolis, Santa Catarina has one of Brazil’s most structured primary health care systems6.

• In 2013, the Florianópolis health municipality began a primary care strengthening intervention to address the organisation of primary care, human resources management and scope of care.

• As part of this intervention, policy-aligned clinical guidance was needed, which prompted the municipality to seek out a collaboration with the KTU to localise the PACK programme to the Florianópolis setting.

The PACK Programme

• The PACK (Practical Approach to Care Kit) programme developed by the Knowledge Translation Unit (KTU) over the past 18 years comprises a comprehensive clinical decision support tool (the PACK guide) and implementation strategy that standardises and strengthens primary health care.

• A local policy-aligned version has been successfully implemented in South Africa and forms the basis of a primary care health systems intervention1.

• Pragmatic randomised controlled trials demonstrate improvements in health outcomes and quality of care 2,3,4,5.

• A generic evidence-informed PACK Global version has been developed based on evidence sourced from British Medical Journal (BMJ) Best Practice and World Health Organization guidance, and other sentinel guidelines.

• The KTU has developed a mentorship package which is intended for in-country step-by-step localisation to reflect local burden of disease, health systems policies and processes, and resource constraints.

Continued collaboration

• Randomised controlled trial evaluating PACK Brazil implementation using routinely collected outcomes and quality of care indicators.• Process evaluation of PACK Brazil implementation• Publication of National PACK Brazil version• Mentored annual update of PACK Brazil guide and training tools
