To address problems like these, we planned to supply CSPs with java-enabled phones and utilize the FrontlineSMS Forms Client to allow them to fill out and send in daily reports on services provided.  Using this platform, the 42-field paper form currently being filled out by hand can be compressed down to a single text-message.  After a few days of brainstorming and getting up to speed on SSFP, I headed out to a few field sites to talk with clinic managers and CSPs and introduce the idea to them personally.  Once accustomed to the idea of a real-time communication network, the CSPs began to buzz with ideas exploring how it might be used.
