How to add a new program to the CHMI Pipeline
- First, check to make sure that the program you are thinking of isn’t already in the database. You can do this by searching for the name using the search box in the upper right corner of the page. Or, if you aren’t sure of the name, you can use a filtered search to drill down into the database with filters like program type, health focus, and country of operation
- If you are sure the program isn’t in the CHMI database, click “Suggest a program for the CHMI Pipeline” (you can access this from the homepage or the programs page) This will redirect you to create a user account. Fill in a user name, your email, and a password, then click “create a new account”
- Once you’re logged in, click on “Submit a new program profile” on the right side of the page
- Fill in as much information as possible in the program profile page, making sure to fill out the required boxes that are marked with a red star
- Select multiple countries of operation (if applicable) by holding down the control key while selecting the countries of operation
- Use the drop-down menus under Program Type and Health focus to select the terms that best describe the program you are entering. You can select as many terms as apply
- Not sure what the different terms mean? Consult the Glossary of Terms
- Under “Reviewed Status” at the bottom of the page, select “Needs Review” then hit save to send the profile to the CHMI team to be reviewed and published
