ForwardSchool Nurse Advisory Group - August
School nurses and nurse practitioners play a critical role in children’s health. Building stronger connections between school health professionals, hospital clinicians, and primary care providers will help strengthen the continuation of care for pediatric patients. Gaps in care occur due to communication barriers and the goal of the School Nurse Advisory Group is to identify and address these barriers.
A goal of the School Nurse Advisory Group is to help improve communication and care across all aspects of the healthcare team to improve children’s health. This activity will make an impact on the interprofessional healthcare team by developing the foundation for the development of a framework between school health professionals, hospital clinicians, and primary care.
