مستخلص: Objective: To address the problem of limited health care access for patients in rural southern Minnesota, a digitally capable mobile health clinic (MHC) quality improvement initiative was launched in a rural community-based health system.
Methods: This project was designed and implemented according to our institutional strategic plan, guiding principles for virtual community care, and existing approved standards of care. A quality improvement development and pilot implementation framework was rapidly developed using Agile methodology.
Results: The resulting technology and equipment selection, overall clinic design, vehicle vendor selection, clinical schedule and workflows, staffing model, equipment and technology selection, and testing were achieved in 12 months. The pilot site communities were chosen on the basis of size, interest, and lack of existing access. Four underserved rural communities now have access to telehealth consultations, laboratory testing, and in-person primary care examinations. By April 30, 2022, the MHC had provided 1498 patient appointments while maintaining our standards of care. Newly established broadband internet access for these communities and their residents was a valuable secondary outcome.
Conclusion: By designing and implementing an MHC quality improvement intervention that provides both in-person and advanced telehealth options for patients in rural communities, our institution rapidly provided a potential solution for the rural health care crisis. The MHC not only replaces traditional brick-and-mortar facilities but also expands service offerings and access to technology for rural communities and the people who live and work in them.
