The Programs Team developed and now maintains both English and French editions of PEN-Plus Clinical Tools and Programmatic Standards, a document aimed at informing clinic and program planning, budgeting, and operations by providing a crisp definition of PEN-Plus clinical care, including the diagnostic, treatment, and patient support services available. With clarity around these services, clinics can extrapolate additional parts of the program, such as lists of essential medications and equipment, training needs, and healthcare-provider competencies.

PEN-Plus Clinical Tools and Programmatic Standards and Outils Cliniques et Standards du Programme PEN-Plus can be used as references both for planning a PEN-Plus program and for assessing and refining existing PEN-Plus clinics. These living documents will change and adapt as PEN-Plus systems strengthen and higher levels of care and standards are achieved.
