“Some school districts in the Pee Dee have involved in school-based telehealth programs. The programs allow students to be examined, diagnosed and treated by healthcare providers while at school via telehealth. Telehealth is a remote, clinical healthcare service that uses innovative technology.”

“Findings In this Medicaid claims data analysis, there was no association found between a school-based telehealth program implemented in a rural South Carolina county and all-cause emergency department visits among children ages 3 to 17 years enrolled in Medicaid. However, an additional analysis of a subsample of children with asthma suggested that this program was associated with a more than 20% overall reduction in emergency department visits.”
Palmetto Care Connections (PCC) is the telehealth network for South Carolina that offers telehealth support services to rural and underserved health care providers.
