Although mobile health clinics aim to reduce the concerns with access to care, they do not eliminate barriers if the appropriate tests are not immediately available.
PICO: In the homeless population treated in mobile medicine (P), what is the effect of point of care testing (I) on turnaround time (O) compared with outside laboratory testing (C)?
Evidence: Critical analysis of the literature …

Evidence: An exhaustive literature search resulted in 61 peer-reviewed articles. Eleven studies were included after filtering for duplicates and keywords and evaluating for strength and quality …
Clinical Decision Support System For Standardization Of Disease-Specific Education, Paul Nava
Clinical Decision Support System For Standardization Of Disease-Specific Education, Paul Nava
Student Scholarly Projects
The evidence-based, contextually relevant, disease-specific health education materials aim to provide strategies for improvement in health literacy, disease management comprehension, and medication adherence. The health education materials address difficulties many adults experience in understanding health information. The health education system must remain a contextually relevant, patient-specific reference for standardizing disease-specific education according to the patient's mental capability (Fereidouni et al., 2019). Nurse-driven education material system addresses equity, diversity, and inclusion, tailored for all literacy degrees.
Clinical decision-making is a complicated process influenced by a highly variable process that exponentially increases error rates, selection, or exclusion, unintended or not, by presenting …
