Problem: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic posed a major workforce challenge to Brazil, which has a large land area and a shortage of health workers in regions distant from the big cities.
Approach: The Brazilian health ministry implemented a computerized solution to provide rapid support to states and municipalities to hire health professionals from large urban centres to work in underserved areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. We designed an online system for health professionals to register their willingness to work on the COVID-19 response; the system was launched to the public in April 2020.
