THE ORGANIZATION WORKS WITH MORE THAN 100 PARTNERS TO DELIVER ITS TECHNOLOGY TOOLKIT TO HEALTH WORKERS, AND ALSO DISTRIBUTES A FREE, SELF-SERVICE VERSION OF ITS SOFTWARE AND TRAINING RESOURCES. IN 2019, MEDIC MOBILE, INC. AND COLLABORATING PARTNERS LAUNCHED THE COMMUNITY HEALTH TOOLKIT AS A GLOBAL PUBLIC GOOD. MEDIC MOBILE, INC. SERVES AS THE TECHNICAL STEWARD FOR THIS OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT.THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK IS INSPIRED BY COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THERE IS IMMENSE POTENTIAL IN THEIR COMPASSION FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS, UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR COMMUNITY, EAGERNESS TO LEARN, AND WILLINGNESS TO TRY NEW THINGS TO IMPROVE HEALTH. THE STATUS QUO IS THAT THESE HEALTH WORKERS ARE OFTEN ISOLATED AND LEFT WITHOUT REAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS, BUT THE ORGANIZATION HAS SEEN THIS CHANGE. EVERY HEALTH WORKER SHOULD KNOW AND FEEL THAT THE WORLD AND ITS RESOURCES ARE WITH THEM.THE ORGANIZATION'S APPROACH IS BASED ON SOLIDARITY, RATHER THAN CHARITY ALONE. THE ORGANIZATION ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE POOREST AND MOST MARGINALIZED PEOPLE ARE SYSTEMATICALLY MORE LIKELY TO BE EXPOSED TO DISEASE AND HARM AND LESS LIKELY TO ACCESS WORKING HEALTH SYSTEMS OR ROBUST SOFTWARE TOOLS. FAR TOO OFTEN, COMMUNITIES ARE NOT AFFORDED OPPORTUNITIES TO REDESIGN THESE SYSTEMS AND TOOLS IN A PARTICIPATORY, HUMAN-CENTERED MANNER.WORKING ALONGSIDE MANY LOCAL PARTNERS, THE ORGANIZATION ASSERTS HUMANITY IN THE STRUGGLE FOR A MORE JUST AND CARING SOCIETY, IN WHICH PEOPLE CAN FLOURISH AND LIVE WITH DIGNITY. THE APPROACH FINDS PRACTICAL EXPRESSION WHEN THE ORGANIZATION PRIORITIZES PARTNERSHIPS, HEALTH WORKERS, SERVICES, AND TOOLS FOR THE MOST CHALLENGING SETTINGS RATHER THAN THE MOST COMMON OR CONVENIENT.THE TOOLS THE ORGANIZATION BUILDS ARE FREE, OPEN-SOURCE, AND DEPLOYED AT SCALE IN THE LAST MILE OF HEALTHCARE. EVIDENCE-BASED WORKFLOWS COME TOGETHER IN THE SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT HEALTH WORKERS AND FAMILIES - HELPING TO ENSURE SAFE DELIVERIES, TRACK OUTBREAKS, TREAT ILLNESSES DOOR-TO-DOOR, COMMUNICATE ABOUT EMERGENCIES, AND MORE. THE SOFTWARE SUPPORTS KEY SHIFTS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH - SUPPORTING PEOPLE-CENTERED CARE, TASK-SHIFTING OF CARE AND SERVICES, PROACTIVE SYSTEMS, DATA-DRIVEN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT, AND A TEAM-BASED APPROACH TO CARE.THE ORGANIZATION ENVISIONS A MORE JUST WORLD IN WHICH HEALTH WORKERS ARE SUPPORTED AS THEY PROVIDE CARE FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS, UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE IS A REALITY, AND HEALTH IS SECURED AS A HUMAN RIGHT. THE ORGANIZATION AIMS TO SUPPORT HEALTH WORKERS SERVING 100 MILLION PEOPLE BETWEEN 2017 AND 2021.
