Summary

This study aims to improve follow-up care after positive rheumatic heart disease (RHD) screening in Northern Uganda. It will identify barriers and co-develop an enhanced ACT+ strategy, then evaluate its effectiveness in increasing linkage to confirmatory echocardiography, along with its adoption, acceptability, and feasibility. Secondary outcomes include time to diagnosis, initiation of treatment, and factors influencing implementation.

The ACT+ Strategy

The Active Community Case Management Tool (ACT) is a cloud-based, dynamic RHD case management tool developed by CCHMC in partnership with global stakeholders, including UHI and the RRCU. ACT provides real-time data on patient status, clinical outcomes, and care processes, supporting both individual patient management (electronic medical record functions) and system-level quality improvement (registry and dashboard functions).
