Safe Pathway

Safe Pathway is a COVID-19 screening app for First Nations organizations. Safe Pathways supports safe workplaces! This COVID-19 screening app has been developed by Thunderbird Partnership Foundation, a leading culturally centred voice across Canada on First Nations mental wellness, substance use and addictions. It is for First Nations organizations to ensure their staff and visitors are safe before they enter workplaces and facilities and is a direct response to requests for support from First Nations treatment centres across the country. The app is set up by an administrator who invites staff, clients, and visitors to join. Once logged in, users can answer the COVID screening questions before visiting the facility. Screening questions can be customized to fit each organization’s needs. The app will determine if the user is safe to enter the workplace or facility. If they pass, users also receive reminders about social distancing and hand sanitizing etc. If the screening fails, the app alerts the administrator. The results can be stored securely on the administrator’s computer database and reports can be generated on who completed the screening and can be used for tracking purposes.
