Great news :-) Today we released a new version of the EVM Assessor app for Android, and a new version of the app for iOS (Apple) and Windows 10 devices will be coming very soon. We also made a new website release. There are many improvements in this new release, but a summary of the most important ones is given below. Note that if you open the app and an internet connection is detected, the app should update itself automatically.
My facilities
Anyone with an EVM2 account can now manage and assess their facilities in the same way that countries do. Each user has their own private environment they can use to set up their vaccine schedule, tracers, ISC parameters, and locations and then create and deliver EVM assessments. To access "My facilities", next to the EVM logo at the top of the screen ensure that "My facilities" is selected.
Capacity calculator
For questions in the app that require the assessor to make a calculation relating to storage capacity (for example, the new storage capacity of a refrigerated vehicle or cold room), there is a new tool that makes this easier. Just look for the calculator icon under relevant questions.
Multiple site selection
The site selection in an EVM assessment is designed to ensure that a nationally representative sample of facilities is drawn. This means that comparisons between the performance of administrative units (for example, provinces or states) in an assessment cannot be reliably made, which prevents gaining greater insight into sub-national performance variance (a vital lens in ensuring equitable immunization service delivery). To address this shortcoming, it is now possible to create EVM assessments that use standardised, individual site selections for each administrative unit. While this invariably means that more sites will included in the site selection, it also means that comparisons between provinces and states will be possible.
Heat-map comparison
A new type of report has been created on the EVM2 website that enables the performance of locations, administrative units, or even entire assessments to be compared directly to one another and viewed in a single heat-map.
Programme questionnaire app delivery
For full national EVM assessments that require a questionnaire on immunization programme performance to be delivered, the programme questionnaire can be assigned, downloaded, completed and uploaded on the EVM Assessor app in the same way as location questionnaires.
Improved CSV export of reports
Better error reporting on locations import tool
We hope you find these updates useful and please report back if you have any questions or suggestions on future improvements.
