A mixed-methods quasi-experimental evaluation of a mobile health application and quality of care in the integrated community case management program in Malawi

The use of mobile health (mHealth) technology to improve quality of care (QoC) has increased over the last decade; limited evidence exists to espouse mHealth as a decision support tool, especially at the community level. This study presents evaluation findings of using a mobile application for integrated community case management (iCCM) by Malawi’s health surveillance assistants (HSAs) in four pilot districts to deliver lifesaving services for children.
