School-Based Care

Our School Based
Telehealth Program

Your child gets sick at school. It's not easy for you to leave work. What can you do? With your permission, your child can be treated for many common conditions at school through a new Telemedicine Program offered by Family Health Centers and will never have to leave the school.

The telemedicine program would allow a sick student and school nurse to conduct a live-video conference with a nurse practitioner and parents would also be able to participate.

How School Based Telehealth Works

How does it work?

When your child doesn't feel well, he or she goes to the school nurse. In many cases, the nurse can arrange to have your child receive telemedicine services.

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine uses computer and video technology to connect your child to a doctor or nurse practitioner at Family Health Centers.

What happens next?

The school nurse acts as patient presenter while your child speaks with the Family Health Centers doctor or nurse practitioner through a live-video conference and parents would also be able to participate.

Assess

Gather information to figure out what's causing your child to feel better.

Diagnosis

Observe your child and determine what's wrong.

Treat

Recommend what your child needs to be able to get well.

Prescribe

Send a prescription to Family Health Centers pharmacy or your local pharmacy for after school pick up if your child needs medication.

Instruct

Send your child home with information that explains his or her condition and what you need to do to take care of your child.
