Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of a Computerized Decision Support System (CDSS) in form of alerts to clinicians enhances early detection of immunological treatment failure in HIV patients.

- The main end-point of the study will be the proportion of patients on treatment who have experienced treatment failure and appropriate clinical action taken according to the guidelines. [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Other outcome measures will be the proportion of CD4 cell counts done on time and proportion of pre-ART patient eligible for treatment that are initiated within 30 days of eligibility. The median time taken to clinical action will be measured. [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Experimental: EMR+CDSS
Clinics in this arm of the study will have an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system with Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) enhancement implemented as alerts to aid the clinician in decision making.

Detailed Description:
We hypothesize that there is no difference in the time to detecting immunological treatment failure among HIV patients in resource poor settings whether the clinicians use an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system with a Computerized Decision Support (CDSS) or an EMR without a CDSS. In this study, 20 clinics were assigned to the intervention (EMR+CDSS) arm and non-intervention arm (EMR only) and will be followed up for 12 months to assess whether there are any differences in time taken to detect immunological treatment failure based on CD4 cell count.
