TELEHEALTH AND SBHCS REPORT
In collaboration with Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, the New York School-Based Health Foundation released the 2020 report, Caring for New York's School Children: The Potential of Telehealth.
The report examines the transition to telehealth in New York State's SBHCs, anticipates the future outlook for telehealth in SBHCs, and identifies areas of opportunity for utilizing telehealth in SBHCs. Thanks to a team of 5 student consultants at the Mailman School, 19 key stakeholders were interviewed for input, including 9 SBHCs in New York; SBHC experts from Connecticut, North Carolina, and Colorado; the New York City Department of Education; Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA); Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS); Community Health Care Association of New York State (CHCANYS); and the national School Based Health Alliance.
