Health Symptom Checking & Screening

Understand and Take Action on your Community's Health

Symptom Checking & Screening

Capture the health pulse of everyone to have a better sense to react and support the community

  • Add and Send Symptom Checking Invitations
    Manage Symptom Checking processes for your center, organization or institution. Symptom Checking can be set up with custom fields recommended by CDC guidelines or unique to your Health Czar. These symptom-checkers can be recorded daily, anytime prior to arrival, or in advance of medical appointments on a one-time basis
  • Record Symptoms via the GivePulse iOS & Android Mobile App
    Invitations appear on the native downloadable iOS and Android mobile app, allowing users to submit their symptoms on the go from the palm of their hand
  • Add Banner for Reminders
    Add a configurable banner for your GivePulse platform to emphasize important news like recording symptoms upon registering for an appointment

Crisis Management

In times of emergencies, it is imperative to have the ability to quickly and efficiently organize, plan, and execute plans of action to save lives. Whether it’s a hurricane, a virus, or an emergency situation, we can help.

  • Emergencies
    Organize, direct, instruct, message, and promote your emergency needs in an instant. GivePulse can be your one centralized platform to create events, message your community, and get all hands on deck right when you need them. For more information in regards to our emergency capabilities go here
  • Points of Dispensing (PODs)
    Volunteer PODs serve as community locations for the distribution of medical countermeasures such as vaccines, antibiotics, and more. Organize local PODs, manage different locations simultaneously, and display vacancies for volunteers to schedule themselves in locations near them! Collect volunteer applications and communicate immediate needs via email, SMS, or SNS. Manage volunteers for your local POD to ensure safety and efficacy
  • Pandemics & Public Health Crises (COVID-19)
    Getting help during COVID-19 has become a priority for cities as they navigate through the pandemic. Organizations, nonprofits, and individuals face unprecedented needs, and cities and municipalities have the capacity to respond to these needs. The City of Austin filled this need through their How to Help Campaign. Contact our success here to learn how your city, municipality, county, and/or community can create your own response.

Making a center, workspace and activity safe, clean and welcoming

It's imperative that all centers, programs and initiatives have procedures and ongoing tasks in place to protect the health and safety of volunteers, donors, clients and members of the community. Coordinators and admins who are prepared can publish or list opportunities for virtual experiences or the COVID-19 option here.

  • Wipe Down Center
    It is uncertain how long coronavirus can last on surfaces (for this and other information, see the WHO FAQs: https://www.who.int/en/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public). In order to prevent the spread of coronavirus for those in your center, wipe it down with alcohol-based disinfectants both before and after it is in use. If you are using a tablet for volunteer check-in, make sure to sanitize it regularly. If volunteers or employees are using shared computers or tools, make sure they wash their hands regularly, use hand sanitizer, and wipe down their stations before and after use as well.
  • Tools & Supplies Clean-up
    It is also recommended the organization ensures all tools (laptops, tablets, phones, supplies and stationary) be wiped or cleaned per usage or activity. At the same time, individuals and groups who are committed to a program or activity should double check their workspace and tools are cleaned to protect their own safety and health.
  • Provide Disinfectant Wipes and Hand Sanitizing Solutions
    Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are almost as effective as hand-washing (although we always recommend that volunteers, employees, and clients wash their hands for at least 20 seconds as often as possible). Provide this to anyone engaging in your organization’s space to avoid transmission of the virus. In addition, provide disinfectant wipes so that any droplets containing the virus can be removed before individuals touch surfaces.

Volunteer Preparation

It's imperative that all volunteers, donors and individuals who anticipate interacting with others either physically distance themselves or ensure that they are healthy, capable and willing. Individuals who meet these health requirements can get involved now here.

  • Wash Hands and Be Clean
    The CDC recommends that you wash your hands regularly and thoroughly, particularly after sneezing or coughing, when caring for the sick, before, after, and during food preparation, before eating, after use of toilets, when hands are visibly dirty, and after handling animals. Washing hands often and thoroughly (for at least 20 seconds) will help to prevent the spread of the virus, both to yourself and others. Avoid touching your face. If you cannot wash your hands, frequently use an alcohol-based hand rub/sanitizer.
  • Cover Coughs and Sneezes
    Always cover your coughs and sneezes with your inner elbow or a tissue (if into a tissue, please dispose immediately and wash your hands). Droplets can spread the virus; good respiratory hygiene helps to protect those around you from the potential spread of the virus. This is particularly true given that droplets can remain on surfaces long after you have left, leaving all those who come into contact vulnerable.
  • Physical (also known as Social) Distancing
    Maintaining six feet of physical distance can prevent the spread of virus, as this is how far droplets travel after a cough or a sneeze. Physical distance can protect you and those around you alike. Note: while this has been referred to as social distancing, increasingly the term physical distancing is being preferred, as social connection is of particular importance at this time.
