New feature: Action plans for program managers using the Simple App for improved patient care

The user-centered, open source Simple app, developed by Resolve to Save Lives, now has a new feature to help care for patients in the primary health care setting. The Simple dashboard now includes action plans, a new program management feature that allows managers to create actionable and measurable goals directly in within the dashboard.

This new feature helps close the loop on crucial quality improvement initiatives. Typically, at a district or state level, program officials use the Simple hypertension dashboard to determine in real time which actions are needed to improve key health indicators, such as blood pressure control rates. But it can be difficult to track progress accurately across the quarter, and health workers are not always able to tell which actions they should prioritize to ensure better outcomes. With the new Simple action plans, the actions set for each facility are clearer, measurable, and visible to the whole care team.
