Contact Tracing May be the Key to Beating COVID-19
A new plan authored by Johns Hopkins University calls for widespread testing and contact tracing before the country can be safely re-opened.
Investing in Public Health Infrastructure to Contain COVID-19
Whether or not you agree with the push to relax social distancing and re-open the country, public health experts agree we need far more extensive testing and the ability to contact trace and isolate cases to prevent future spread of #COVID19. To help achieve this goal, the Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins University authored a national plan to implement a comprehensive contact tracing program that calls for at least 100,000 new public health workers.
As we are all finding ways to meet the challenge posed by the pandemic, the ArcheMedx team has accelerated development of a new learning and insights solution and free educational Activity, powered by Ready, to assist public and private leaders in improving our collective understanding of this plan and the critical role contact tracing can play.
ArcheMedX Activity - A National Plan to Enable Contact Tracing
- The ArcheMedX-powered Contact Tracing Activity is made available free of charge to better equip state and local decision makers as they plan to reduce social distancing and reduce the spread of COVID-19
- The Activity is designed to increase awareness and understanding of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security's "National Plan to Enable Comprehensive COVID-19 Case Finding and Contact Tracing in the US".
- It layers expert advice and curated multi-media resources from the CDC, WHO, Johns Hopkins, MIT and other global publications and institutions to explain why the need for widespread testing and contact tracing is so critical before the country can be safely re-opened.
A better way to learn...
The Contact Tracing Activity is powered by Ready and the beta version of our new PDF centric learning and insights solution.
With Ready, you can rapidly transform any document into a personalized learning and assessment solution. Deliver a more engaging and individually tailored learning experience that layers multi-media resources and prescribed recommendations in and around your primary document as synchronized learning moments, making it easier for participants to discover, reflect, and dive deeper into critical information when it is most contextually relevant.
Ready also reduces traditional cognitive barriers to learning by enabling participants to:
- take digital notes synchronized to where they are in the content
- track learning moments and key resources for subsequent review and action
- search, view, and download a related library of resources and tools
- respond to personalized recommendations and engage in content boosts delivered over time to drive additional reflection and retention
Improving Our Broader Understanding
Since Ready captures novel behavioral data and confidence measures as participants engage in the Activity, this data can be analyzed and shared (de-identified of course) with the broader public health community to indicate how leaders across the country plan to implement widespread testing and contact tracing.
