Telehealth or telemedicine has recently become a technology of great importance, in part, due to the COVID quarantine and the decrease in medical services offered by health professionals during this period. The outbreak of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is a public health emergency of international concern. Telehealth is an effective option to fight the outbreak of COVID-19. The use of telehealth improves the provision of health services. Therefore, telehealth should be an important tool in caring services. The use of telehealth often focuses on populations who have barriers to access health care such as those in rural communities, those living in poverty, or those who are homebound (IOM, 2012). Telehealth provides a potential strategy to remove barriers by:
Providing extended health and mental health care,
Providing timely access to meet urgent and emergent healthcare needs,
Promoting collaboration between regional health centers and healthcare providers in remote areas,
Telehealth in schools has mainly focused on primary care services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and ASCD recommend a broader, coordinated, collaborative approach to student health.
