When a frontline program already runs on CommCare, the question during COVID-19 wasn’t “should we build something new?” It was “how do we adapt what we have?” This eLearning webinar walks through the adaptations teams made for in-person and remote screening, and shares a free home-based-care template app you can start from.
Adapting for in-person screening
Adding a triage form to an existing case management workflow turned out to be straightforward, once teams accepted that the goal was triage, not a complete COVID-19 record. The webinar walks through the form, the case property changes, and the supervisor workflow.
Adapting for remote screening
Where in-person contact was not possible, teams used SMS and call-back workflows to keep the screening cadence going. The walkthrough covers the messaging configuration, fallbacks, and supervisor escalation paths.
A home-based-care template you can start from
Dimagi published a free home-based-care template app, structured around screening, follow-up, escalation, and recovery. The webinar tours the template so you can decide which pieces to pull into your own app.
