Dr. John Jenkins – Collaboration across organizations to positively impact school care

Dr. John Jenkins, Medical Director School-Based Care at Cone Health, discussed the importance of building relationships with various stakeholders such as the school system, county government, school nurses, and philanthropy to make a program work.

Dr. John Jenkins, Medical Director School-Based Care at Cone Health

“It didn’t take long when I visited schools to see the children and their innocence, and how happy they are to be in the school environment, and to learn to realize that whatever we could do to keep them in school was going to improve their lives and help them to become really productive citizens. The principal of our prototype school shared with me yesterday that not a single student who was enrolled in our telehealth program at Bestmare Elementary School was reported for a behavioral issue last year.“

Sam McGinnis & Patsy Fisher – School health delivery models, and why the school nurse remains essential

Sam McGinnis, Administrative Director at Atrium Health, and Patsy Fisher, Senior Manager, School Based Virtual Care at Atrium Health, spoke about school health delivery models.

Sam McGinnis, Administrative Director at Atrium Health

“We’ve completed almost 21,000 school-based virtual encounters and provided care for almost 14,000 unique students, faculty, and staff. We’ve seen a 32% reduction in avoidable emergency department visits with students who engage within our virtual care clinic. We’ve demonstrated over the life cycle of our program that 47% of students are able to return to class and continue their school day.“

School-Based Virtual Care Helps Improve Health and Access to Care

By conducting comprehensive medical exams virtually at schools, Atrium Health Levine Children’s School-Based Virtual Care program has reduced barriers to health care and improved health outcomes by providing a convenient care option that meets people where they are.

Sheila Freed – Telemedicine as a force multiplier in schools

Sheila Freed, Director of School Health at Avel eCare, joined the School Health Virtual Summit to discuss the role of telemedicine in providing school nursing services. She shares her experiences and insights about how telemedicine has been utilized in different school settings.

Sheila Freed, Director of School Health at Avel eCare

“We start by asking what the school district’s needs are. And it always comes down to attendance. And we can change attendance. We can keep kids in school. We keep kids safe at school. So it’s like what school nurses do, whether they’re in the buildings, whether they’re telemedicine, we actually save lives.“

Tamara Perry – Bringing quality healthcare to children in schools across Dallas

Tamara Perry, Senior Director of Virtual Health Operations at Children’s Health, joined the School Health Virtual Summit to discuss the impact that their school health program has had on children across Dallas.

Tamara Perry, Senior Director of Virtual Health Operations at Children’s Health

“One of the superintendents in the schools that we service shared with us that they have saved $500,000 by reducing absenteeism and keeping the kids in school. That’s important for the schools to be aware of, that although your staff person is being utilized for these telehealth visits, what you’re doing is being able to keep your students in the classroom. Then you’re able to sustain their education, their health, and their presence there.“

Lindsey Gardner – Providing family-centered medical care in schools

Lindsey Gardner, an RN and Manager of Clinical Services at Southern Indiana Community Health Care (SICHC), spoke about providing family-centered medical care in schools through her FQHC-funded programs.

Lindsey Gardner, Manager of Clinical Services at Southern Indiana Community Health Care (SICHC)

“Students and parents are able to get a higher-level opinion from an advanced practice provider, and school nurses are able to have a definite answer as to whether the student should remain at school. It helps parents from missing work, it helps with transportation issues… and not using those walk-ins and ER for these acute things that we can take care of pretty quickly and virtually here.“
