Agenda 1- A community story presented by the Living Goods team on deploying family planning workflows.
Agenda 2- CHT product management updates
a) An overview of CHT UI changes
On the reports tab, changes have been made on how filters and search work. The main goal of this update is to align CHT with the android material design standards so that CHT uses familiar design patterns that aligns with other apps that health workers use on their phones. This will help with overall scalability, bring consistency to CHT and make it easier for users to use CHT. The product team is also working on how the search feature works on the contact and report tabs. More details on filter design changes are available here. Please feel free to share your thoughts, feedback and comments on the forum posts.
To facilitate training of users on the new UI updates, the team has provided a mechanism to train users using in-app training cards that will help to prompt users to complete the training. The training cards are customizable to partners’ needs. The old version of UI will be available for a period of time, the UI changes can be rolled out overtime in cohorts, this will be controlled by permissions.
b) Other CHT product updates
The Product team is working on adding breadcrumbs to the task tab, this will make it easier for users to know which household the task belongs to. The breadcrumbs will be available on CHT v3.17.
The team recently published documentation on using stock monitoring on CHT, the documentation provides guidance on designing stock monitoring workflows in CHT. The team is still doing a lot of work in understanding the needs of the various projects in preparation to do some focussed work on stock monitoring in future.
c) Offline user replace
This feature enables a supervisor to replace a CHW with no connectivity using the same phone. The Supervisor will replace a CHW by submitting a contact form, in the contact the supervisor enters the admin code and the new CHW information. The admin code prevents unauthorized use of the contact form by CHW. The new CHW can continue to deliver care, once the new CHW syncs data the new reports will be parented to the new user. It is possible to configure on CHT to enable the new CHW to receive a token login that a CHW can use to access the app without entering the username and password. Here is the forum post with more details on offline user replace feature, the post has videos and updates on the feature.
