Here are some key points from today’s COVID-19 Response meeting:
- @wanyee @jdick @ball and @janflowers gave some updates from Kenya, Uganda, Haiti, AMPATH, and PIH.
- Progress is being made on the three initial forms based on CDC’s PUI form and WHO’s case report form (surveillance, clinical, and travel history).
- @ibacher would like help someone with experience designing forms to help with the current sprint.
- Current sprint slated to wrap up on March 31.
- These will be released as a module.
- The immediate focus is making sure that this module responds to COVID-19 - and we want to use this opportunity to create a public health response module so we avoid re-creating the wheel every time.
- @ball outlined essential areas of data collection and we talked about using this to track who is working on what - and what to include in the public health response module for COVID019.
