Introduction
Telehealth innovations facilitate the capability of providing healthcare through telecommunications technology. These are implements that can be employed to address as well as enhance the health status of children in schools. In the contemporary, rural areas within the United States are expanses that are still lacking proper and adequate healthcare. To address and transform this, school-based telehealth care has been unveiled and instituted as means of rendering care to children. In particular, school-based health clinics make the most of telemedicine technology to provide children with the accessibility to primary healthcare services (Kim, 2013). The purpose of this essay is to delineate the manner in which rural school-centered telehealth clinics can be employed in the nursing field to deliver suitable healthcare to children.
Précis
The topic argued, discussed and deliberated in the essay encompasses the establishment and efficacy of rural school-based telehealth clinics. The statement of focus in the article by Reynolds and Maughan (2015), encompasses the utilization of telehealth technologies and in particular rural-based telehealth clinics by nurses within the school settings to not only address but at the same time to enhance health status of children in schools around the...
A key element that was learnt from the article is that telehealth is an implement that can enhance care in an inventive and efficacious manner. Schools across the nations and particularly in the rural regions will be able to provide better healthcare to further meet the necessities of children in their care. The information contained within the article is significant to my field of study because it outlines one of the key ways in which medical care and services can be rendered to patients in the rural regions in an effective, adequate and cost-effective manner. This is an element that is missing in the present day and would improve the health status of these individuals in overall.
Mind Map Discussion
Educational facilities and establishments play a fundamental role with regard to the health of children. Within such settings, the school nurses operate as the leaders as well as the directors of the healthcare that is rendered to the students. Nonetheless, the downside to this is that some children may necessitate additional medical care and attention that go beyond what such school nurses are capable and sanctioned to provide. Regrettably, numerous institutes lack the medical resources that are essential in meeting the health needs of their students. Telehealth innovations can be employed…

Appendix Mind Map The following is a mind map that delineates and illustrates the manner in which the identified telehealth technology, rural school-based telehealth clinics, can be used in nursing.
Barring this, however, clinics can still offer doctors incentives to come to underserved areas. First of all, doctors can be offered greater autonomy in dispensing patient care than the burdensome oversight they might experience in a large hospital. Less bureaucracy, less red tape, and a less punishing schedule are all reasons that doctors might wish to relocate to a rural area to work in a clinic. In contrast to
The Impact of Telehealth With the advent of telehealth, the landscape of healthcare delivery has undergone a transformative shift. Defined as the use of digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices, for accessing health care services remotely and managing one's health care (American Telemedicine Association, 2012), telehealth has shown a significant impact on both patients and healthcare systems worldwide. These technological advancements have paved the way for
