Key Questions • Is this working? For whom? How can we make it better? • Quality often suffers with growth: can we prevent this? • How can we bring a non-medical intervention firmly into healthcare without breaking it? • Can we capture an opportunity moment for CHW programs? Or will history repeat itself? • How do we fix underlying problems, not just Band-Aid? • What will keep our organization happy and stable?
