Any ideas for a creating a public health project at a clinic for underserved populations?

Asked by nromstadt (626points) September 13th, 2011

I know this is an oddly specific question, so I’ll clarify.

I’m a pharmacy student assigned to work for a semester at a community health clinic. As a part of our class, we are required to come up with some sort of public health project that would benefit the patients at our clinic. Past projects included making pamphlets outlining what tax forms patients need to bring in, doing blood pressure screenings, or making diabetes/obesity education pamphlets.

So, my question is – has anyone ever been at a doctor’s office, or clinic and thought – “It would be really helpful if….?” Or “I wish (this) information was more accessible and easy to understand…” I know medical forms, insurance and all that fun stuff can be incredibly confusing… but I need a specific area to work on, and suggestions on how we could make this information more accessible and easy to find.

Any ideas? I’d like to do something that would actually be of use to people.
