Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are organizations that provide primary care services to our nation's most vulnerable communities. This nurse practitioner-led intervention sought to double the number of available COVID-19 evaluation and testing appointments within an FQHC. Results showed a significant increase in the availability of respiratory clinic appointments, the number of completed appointments, and the number of tests completed. This demonstrates nurse practitioners' ability to work with organizations to develop innovative systems that can be adapted for future use.
