What MAV brings
Bring the part of ANCHOR the community actually needs.
MAV is modular. A visit can be a simple public-access stop, a lower-sensory navigation session, a technology-lending/demo day, a community training deployment or a higher-complexity telehealth/clinical partner visit. The field configuration should match the work.
Twelve field-service lanes
Every Mobile Access Visit should have a defined job and a defined handoff.
MAV is broader than health care, but it can host licensed health services when a qualified partner/clinician is scheduled. The default role is access, preparation, navigation, communication, field support and follow-through.
