BACKGROUND

WHY A TELEHEALTH PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT IN SCHOOLS

Reduce ER burden, increase access, and support the community

Children’s Health saw several key advantages in integrating telehealth services into schools, particularly during high volume seasons. The main purpose of this was to reduce the pressure on emergency departments, which were often overwhelmed with conditions that didn’t require a trip to the ER. Dallas county has a large population of medically underserved children, with 44% on Medicaid and 33% uninsured, that would benefit from a less resource-consuming environment than the ED.

Children’s Health were also looking for a way to increase access to care and see more patients. Schools were an ideal setting for telehealth, having already overcome multiple barriers to access, such as geographic placement, transportation, language interpretation, timely access, education, and an established relationship of trust. By integrating telehealth into schools, Children’s Health could ensure that children could receive better access to care for minor health issues that would otherwise interfere with their attendance.

This was viewed as a strategic decision to improve the overall availability of healthcare for children, making sure they get the care they require without having to miss out on school or forcing their parents to take time off work, as well as alleviating the burden on emergency services and interacting with new patients.

THE CHALLENGE

Expensive and costly telehealth carts weren’t cutting it

The size and weight of the telehealth carts posed problems in the school setting, as they were too bulky for the limited storage space often available to nursing staff. This created a logistical issue and made it difficult to move the carts around the space, which impacted their practicality and usability.

Apart from the physical limitations, the carts were also hindered by a range of technical problems that impaired their performance. Notable among these were pixelation difficulties and unreliable connections during telehealth meetings. These technical issues hampered the quality of virtual care, since clear and dependable video links are essential for efficient telehealth services.
