Abstract
The facility faces common challenges that include funding shortages, uninsured or public versus private insurance, limited or no transportation, and increased utilization of emergency or urgent care services versus preventive, primary care treatment, thus creating a widespread practice problem. The practice-focused question is: “in vulnerable or marginalized populations, how does mobilized access to care increase compliance for preventive medicine, screenings, and primary care services to improve health outcomes and quality of care over a 3-month period?” The summary of literature from peer reviewed journal articles within the last 5 years supports the implementation of a mobile clinic van to improve access to care and health equity for the patients it serves. Using the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing’s Evidence-Based Practice Model as the analytical strategy, the project proposal aims to achieve healthy equity for the community.
