What is TeleMedicine?
TeleMedicine uses a secure, two –way video link between your school’s health suite and the University of Maryland pediatric emergency room to provide acute health services to your child. Equipment operated by the school nurse will send images and sounds to a University of Maryland physician. Your child can be seen and treated for pink eye, strep throat, rashes, ear infections, asthma flare ups, and other minor health conditions while they stay in school. The physician will send prescriptions, if needed, to the pharmacy of your choosing.
How can my child receive TeleMedicine services?
Children must be enrolled in the Howard County School-Based Wellness Center located inside your school’s health suite to receive TeleMedicine services. Please contact your school nurse for enrollment forms or you may download them below. The forms may also be faxed to you.
