Description

The SMART VHV Plus Model is an original framework mapping the acronym to five operational competency domains: S (Screen) = communicable disease surveillance and at-risk group screening; M (Management) = participatory resource management and collaborative problem-solving; A (Application) = digital technology application and health information systems; R (Response) = community-level outbreak response and risk communication; T (Time) = timely, self-reliant community health planning. The designation "Plus" signifies extension beyond foundational Ministry of Public Health VHV standards to incorporate three emerging domains not previously systematised: digital literacy, leadership, and community self-reliance planning.
