Re-Enroll in a W2H Intervention
Re-enrollment in a Way to Health intervention is now available in PennChart. Heart Safe Motherhood, a blood pressure monitoring program for moms after childbirth needed this feature because mom’s often experience high blood pressure for multiple pregnancies. This feature is not only for HSM though! Any intervention that enrolls through PennChart can use this feature as well. Please let your W2H liaison know if you would like to implement this for your program.
