Abstract
This study tracks healthcare workers’ use of PDA’s, and their usefulness in project feedback and evaluation. Outcome Mapping was used to track the uptake and effective use of new communication technologies among health workers. But the handheld computers, or PDAs, also helped support Outcome Mapping: just as they were crucial for inputting and sending health-related data, they were also used to experiment with, and improve monitoring activities for the project. By uploading Outcome Mapping monitoring journals and related questionnaires on their PDAs, health workers were able to track their own and other boundary partners changes in behaviour regarding these new communication technologies.
