Telehealth in a rural school-based health center
1Department of Family and Community Medicine, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, Texas, USA.
Abstract:
Telehealth is a new technology for the delivery of health care that allows a provider to deliver health care to a client at a remote setting via full, real-time video and audio interaction (American Nurses' Association, 1996). Telehealth does not change traditional health care standards or practice. School-based health centers are designed specifically for children and offer a continuum of preventive and acute care interventions that few other health care entities can provide (School-Based Adolescent Health Care Program, 1993). Telehealth and a school-based health center were joined together in a pilot project to demonstrate the efficacy of primary care via telehealth and to determine the value of this technology to the school and community. The telehealth capability enhanced the role of the school nurse and increased access to primary care for the students. The students were quick to adapt to the technology. The role of the school nurse was essential to the success of this project.
