OptionE incorporates nurse-led HIV clinics, review of blood results by doctors, patient contact by email and the option of home delivery of medication. Patient questionnaires showed increased satisfaction associated with fewer, shorter clinic visits. A retrospective case note review suggested clinical outcomes are as good as standard care.
