GetCheckedOnline is a digital service in British Columbia that allows people to get tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) without visiting a clinic. It has been successful in reaching people who face challenges accessing traditional healthcare. As the program continues to grow, it is important to find ways to keep its benefits accessible to everyone while managing resources effectively. This project will examine evidence from similar programs elsewhere, analyze GetCheckedOnline’s existing data, and conduct interviews with those involved in running the program. Our goal is to develop a plan to ensure GetCheckedOnline remains sustainable and well-integrated within the broader health system, continuing to serve all residents of British Columbia effectively.
