Introduction to Go.Data – Field data collection, chains of transmission and contact follow-up
|
Go.Data is a field data collection platform focusing on case data (including lab, hospitalization and other variables though case investigation form) and contact data (including contact follow-up). This briefing package provides an orientation to the purpose, benefits and utilization of Go.Data, consisting of 7 modules with a narrated walkthrough of the key features of the Go.Data web-based platform and mobile application.

Course contents
Module 1: Introduce the Go.Data project:
By the end of this module, participants should be able to: introduce the Go.Data project and list the key features of the Go.Data tool.
Module 2: Go.Data Platform overview and persistent elements of the interface:
By the end of this module, participants should be able to: create users and assign roles on the Go.Data platform; describe the role of a Go.Data systems administrator; recognise the persistent elements of the user interface; and summarise the way in which reference data is managed.
Module 3: Outbreaks and templates, including case investigation form and contact follow-up form:
By the end of this module, participants should be able to: create an outbreak on the Go.Data platform; recall the key steps involved in managing templates and concurrent outbreaks on the Go.Data platform; list the key steps for designing a case investigation on the Go.Data platform; and list the key steps for designing a contact follow-up form on the Go.Data platform.
Module 4: Cases, Contacts and Events:
By the end of this module, participants should be able to: explain how to input and export case data using Go.Data; recognise how to create relationships and exposures between cases in Go.Data; explain how to create and add cases to events using Go.Data; and recall how to view event relationships and chronology.
Module 5: Contact follow-up including usage of the Go.Data mobile app:
By the end of this module, participants should be able to: explain how to add contacts to cases and events in Go.Data; recall how to convert contacts to cases; recall how to modify contact data; describe the process of producing and updating contact follow-up lists; and paraphrase how to manage contact follow up using the Go.Data mobile app.
Module 6: Laboratory Data:
By the end of this module, participants should be able to explain how to edit case data and confirm status using lab results.
Module 7: Dashboard, Data visualization and Data exports:
By the end of this module, participants should be able to: recognise the key features and functions of the Go.Data platform dashboard; explain how Go.Data can be used to visualise chains of transmission as networks and timelines; and describe how Go.Data can import and export data in most common data formats.
