Summary

Community Health Workers that work in collaboration with the NGO Muso Health and the Malian government in both a peri-urban and a rural site in Mali, provide care proactively to the population they form part of.

To work, they use a smartphone application that was developed as a job aid to support task management, panel management and clinical decision support functions. For this study, a tool called "Universal Health Coverage Mode" was designed to be integrated into the CHW application to help Community Health Workers visit every household at least twice per month.

We hypothesize that Community Health Workers (CHWs) assigned to use Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Mode, a mobile application tool, will achieve higher coverage of homes visited (defined as being visited at least two times in a month) than those without this tool.

Interventions

OTHER

Universal Health Coverage Mode

In the intervention arm, the CHW's household list will appear differently within the app in the following ways: The CHW will be able to filter and order households by the date of the most recent home visit. A color-coded visual icon will display the number of home visits in the past month for each household. A red exclamation mark will be displayed for every household that has not reached 2 visits in the past month (default at the start of every month). Text displayed below each household showing the date of last visit will turn red if more than 30 days have passed since last visit. When more than 60 days have passed since the most recent visit, the text displayed below each household showing the date of last visit will be changed to "date of last visit is unknown" in red. The family profile will also contain the date of last visit, and the visits they have received in that month
