Although initial transition from paper to REDCap showed mixed effectiveness, post-hoc analysis from service resumption found increased REDCap data completeness across partners, suggesting locally-led momentum for REDCap-based data collection. Staff training, consistent mentoring, and continued technical support appear critical for continued use of digital health tools for quality data collection in rural Zimbabwe and similar low connectivity settings.
