To develop a mobile clinic influence index, which could allow mobile clinic managers to prioritize geographic regions and allocate resources systematically. The mobile clinic primary care service index was constructed taking into account miles traveled by the mobile clinic, the speed of the mobile clinic, number of primary care providers available in a primary care service area (PCSA), the total population in a PCSA, and the number of primary care providers per mobile clinic program. To illustrate the application of the mobile clinic influence index, we use the case of selected primary care mobile clinic programs operating in North Carolina and Florida. A survey of selected mobile clinic programs from Texas, Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina, in rural and urban zip codes. PCSAs in various counties in North Carolina and Florida experienced varying degrees of additive effects of having mobile clinic providers service these areas. The mobile clinics in these counties were therefore influential in delivering critical primary healthcare services to at-risk populations. The index provides a valuable unit of measure to enable program managers of primary care mobile clinics to allocate resources as needed.

开发移动诊所影响力指数，可以使移动诊所经理确定地理区域的优先级并系统地分配资源。构建移动诊所初级保健服务指数时要考虑到移动诊所走过的里程，移动诊所的速度，初级保健服务区（PCSA）中可用的初级保健提供者的数量，PCSA中的总人口以及每个流动诊所计划的初级保健提供者数量。为了说明流动诊所影响指数的应用，我们以在北卡罗来纳州和佛罗里达州运营的选定初级保健流动诊所程序为例。对来自德克萨斯州，乔治亚州，佛罗里达州和北卡罗来纳州的精选移动诊所计划进行了一项农村和城市邮政编码的调查。在北卡罗来纳州和佛罗里达州的各个县中，PCSA经历了不同程度的累加效应，这使得移动诊所提供商为这些地区提供服务。因此，这些县的流动诊所在为高危人群提供关键的基本医疗保健服务方面具有影响力。该索引提供了一种有价值的度量单位，以使初级保健移动诊所的计划经理能够根据需要分配资源。
