Mobile Clinic Quality Assessment Evaluation

The Public Health Quality Check-Up tool was created to allow mobile clinics and other frontline organizations to learn about public health quality, and to identify their public health quality strengths and areas for improvement.  It was developed by the Harvard School of Medicine Mobile Health Map Team in partnership with mobile clinic programs, quality experts, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Public Health Quality Check-up tool was piloted with 70 mobile clinic programs. The sample included those that described themselves as federally qualified health centers, hospital systems, universities, non-profits, faith based programs and other.  These programs represent a broad range of frontline health programs and have received funding from HRSA (Bureau of Health Workforce, Bureau of Primary Healthcare, HIV/AIDS Bureau and Office of Women's Health), and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This presentation will report on key findings from the research.
