“…Trained individuals performing screenings following a rigorous protocol should also develop specific procedures to inform families about both normal and abnormal results, and encourage appropriate follow-up of referrals with health care providers [34]. As demonstrated in this study, school nurses can coordinate care and work with students and families to connect them to appropriate health care professionals and community services, even to a greater extent than has been previously reported [35].…”

Approximately 20% of school-age children have a vision problem. Screening is an effective way to detect visual impairments, although only if adequate follow-up is available. Here, we evaluate the impact of hiring full-time nurses in four underserved schools on the likelihood of increasing follow-up for treatment after vision screening. First, we compared descriptive screening follow-up data from the intervention schools with that of five matched schools with part-time nurses in San Jose, California, from 2008 to 2012. The intervention schools had around 2800 low-income, minority children each year, and the five comparison schools had around 3445. Secondly, we conducted a qualitative analysis of open-ended survey responses from 129 teachers in the nine participating schools. In the final year, 96% of the students screened and referred for possible vision problems in schools with full-time nurses were followed up and examined by a health care provider. Yet, only 67% of students screened in comparison schools were examined. Teachers in schools with full-time nurses reported that follow-up of vision problems and getting glasses for students was the most beneficial activity performed by the nurses. School nurses can effectively increase medical care coordination and follow-up of vision screening in low-income communities.

“…3,4,6,7 School nurses are uniquely positioned to provide direct care, adherence counseling, and education for asthmatic patients. 8 They can review and reinforce proper inhaler technique and usually have the most recorded data of quick-relief medication use—one of the hallmarks of asthma control. More specifically, the role of the school nurse in caring for the child with asthma can include the activities listed in Table E4 in this article’s Online Repository at www.jacionline.org.…”

Clinicians who care for children with asthma have an obligation to coordinate asthma care with the schools. Aside from routine clinical care of asthmatic children, providers must educate the family and child about the need for an asthma treatment plan in school and support the school nurse meeting the needs of the student requiring school-based asthma care. The following article was developed by multiple stakeholders to address this need. It describes the 4 components of the School-based Asthma Management Program (SAMPRO™). SAMPRO™ details elements necessary for the education of children, families, clinicians, and school-based personnel based on a “circle of support” that would enhance multidirectional communication and promote better care for children with asthma within the school setting.
