a fin de mejorar

Spanish translation: ¿Qué se podría hacer para mejorar...?

English term or phrase: a fin de mejorar
I am trying to find a good translation for this question regarding a proposed survey involving the WIC program. The original question reads as follows: What could be done to improve this experience (using WIC benefits to purchase food at stores) for other participants?

Translation 1 (which I am not using, but was first used): ¿Qué se podría hacer a fin de mejorar esta experiencia (el uso de los beneficios del WIC para comprar alimentos en las tiendas) para otras participantes?

After evaluating this question, I just don't like the use of the phrase "a fin de mejorar." I just don't like the placing of the phrase because it basically is a direct translation to the original sentence.

Translation 2 (which I have proposed as a change to the original question): ¿Qué se podría hacer para mejorar esta experiencia (el uso de los beneficios del WIC para comprar alimentos en las tiendas) para otras participantes?

I simply used a different phrase, or in this case a word, for "a fin de mejorar."

Translation 3 (another proposal for a translation of the original question): Con el fin de mejorar el hecho de usar los beneficios del WIC en las tiendas para otras participantes, ¿qué se podría hacer para que esto suceda?

What are some thoughts or suggestions to the translations?

Thank you for any comments
