The Continuum of Health Care
Partners in the Continuum of Care of Community Health: School Health Services, School Nurse, and Community Physicians
Health Services traditionally are the cornerstone of a comprehensive school health program. A qualified, registered professional School Nurse (RN) serves to identify, assess, and intervene in the treatment of a myriad of minor and major health problems.
These health services are not intended to supersede the parents' health care responsibilities nor to supplant the role of the physician.
Optimally, school health services are a significant component in a continuum of care from the family to the community health care system. This continuum is necessary to maintain students' health thereby promoting optimal participation in their educational process.
