Abstract
1. Establish a part-time medical clinic in the OSU Schoenbaum Family Center to support families in the Schoenbaum Early Childhood Development program and the Moms2B program. 2. Connect the majority of women attending the Moms2B program to a primary care medical home for ongoing care. 3. Connect the children of the Weinland Park Elementary School to the OSU Rardin Family Practice.
Description
IMPACT. 1: In 16 clinic days from Oct. 3, 2013 to Feb. 6, there were 218 appointments, 134 fulfilled appointments and 90 unique patients served with a 63 percent show rate. Of those that came to their clinic appointments, 61 percent were children and 39 percent were adults. -- 2. Some of the conditions treated at the clinic include: Respiratory illness; asthma; pre-natal and postpartum checkups; skin, eye and ear infections; flu and fever; and well-child checkups. The clinic has been convenient for those who do not have transportation and convenient for families to address medical concerns before becoming acute, thus avoiding an emergency room visit. -- 3. The presence of the clinic has met the teaching mission of the Rardin Family Practice and the medical needs of families in the Weinland Park neighborhood and the Schoenbaum Family Center.
