This document outlines recommendations and emerging guidelines set forth by GHHI to strengthen existing evaluation and data plan design while adapting to a virtual health assessment approach.

Before an organization adopts a virtual home assessment model, it should ensure that certain components of organizational infrastructure are in place. Included in this document is a list of organizational elements that are recommended prior to developing virtual home assessment services.
GHHI’s Education & Follow-up Protocol is meant to serve as a roadmap for translating educational home visits that are normally done in-person to a virtual platform. Once a virtual home assessment is complete and a scope of work is created, the home assessor should provide the scope of work and any other relevant information to an educator to perform the virtual education & follow-up. The virtual education & follow-up should focus on educating the client on how they can mitigate the health and safety hazards in their home.
This document contains best practices for performing a successful virtual education & follow-up visit or standalone home visit with clients. These best practices come from our own experiences and evidence-based methods and will be updated as our work evolves and our expertise grows
