J Health Care Poor Underserved. 2019;30(2):510-518. doi: 10.1353/hpu.2019.0035.

Abstract

The University of Florida Mobile Outreach Clinic's Care Coordination Program uses trained undergraduate volunteers to provide vital services; these include patient intake, recording vital signs, scribing first drafts of clinic notes, and making follow-up phone calls. The program and its benefits are replicable as demonstrated by our systematic implementation plan.
