We are planning two large-scale mass testing and vaccination events in partnership with Arizona State University. One tentatively scheduled for mid-February with the College of Nursing at the downtown campus and the other with the team at the ASU Student Health Clinic on the Tempe campus. Details to follow.
We have also started to work on a draft “patient empowerment tool” and will be convening focus groups around its development. The tool is designed to facilitate communication between the patient and provider. We will be piloting a Chinese language one first then convening other groups around a Vietnamese and Korean version.
In preparation for the development of the tool we have been having informal conversations with people about how they communicate with their provider. Want to share a story? Contact me at lloyd(a)jaderibbon.net.
