The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing, in partnership with out-state primary care providers, has begun operating a Mobile Nurse Managed Clinic a few days each month in Norfolk and Neligh, Nebraska.
Practitioners who are participating in the program are part of the Midlands Choice network:
- Charles Harper, Jr., M.D., internal medicine, and Jean Suehl, APRN, Faith Regional Physician Services, Norfolk
- Roger Rudloff, M.D., Antelope Memorial Hospital Family Medicine, Neligh
A $300,000 federal stimulus grant funded the 38-foot, custom-built vehicle with two exam rooms, a wheelchair lift, laboratory testing equipment and EKG machines. It is also equipped with high definition video for telehealth consultations between providers and specialists anywhere in Nebraska.
The clinic will fill a need for fragile older adults in rural areas who previously had to travel outside their communities for geriatric assessments. The college is working with primary care physicians in communities that have identified a need for the service. Patients can be referred through their primary care providers.
With the mobile clinic initially on the road for six days a month, the college hopes to expand to eight days per month and to more locations in the future.
