Improving Access to Preventative Health Services at a Small College

• We incorporated primary prevention and secondary screening on HC 2020 objectives in all visits.
• We improved utilization of the health office through enhanced clinic hours and same-day scheduling.
• Tracking utilization is an important measure for exposure to HC 2020 objectives.

Student health offices are charged with the responsibility of improving primary care activities around the priority health objectives set forth in the Healthy Campus 2020 guidelines, established by the American College Health Association in 2012. This quality improvement project aimed to increase student’s access to these activities by implementing screening and prevention education in every health care encounter and through improving the overall utilization of a student health office.
