UETN staff will present current projects using mobile telehealth solutions applicable to both clinical and educational settings.
The Utah Education and Telehealth Network (UETN) has the unique purpose of connecting people and technologies to improve education and healthcare in Utah. In line with this purpose, UETN seeks to bridge the gap between education and telehealth by providing school nurses with telehealth technology, in order to perform virtual visits and asses the health of students remotely. School nurses play a vital role in schools and communities by providing a number of services including direct care of student, chronic disease management, screenings, and now COVID-19 related duties among other things. UETN has partnered with 19Labs to deliver approximately 175 telehealth kits to 21 rural school districts in Utah. This presentation will provide an overview of the school-based telehealth project and introduce the mobile telehealth equipment used to make this project successful.
