The purpose of this study is to investigate child, parent, and teacher perspectives of the role of a Toronto school-based health clinic (SBHC) in health care provision, as well as their experiences of accessibility, and comfort in use. This qualitative case study of a SBHC in the Toronto District School Board’s Model Schools Paediatric Health Initiative (MSPHI) uses thematic secondary data analyses informed by a grounded theory approach. The results of this study provide evidence that the SBHC plays a key role in the provision of physical health care for children; reduces health-related school absences; addresses OHIP-related barriers; and enhances the coordination of health care services. Children’s experiences of comfort over time remained stable; however, children’s perceptions of accessibility improved over time which aligned with their increased SBHC utilization. Key terms: children, health services, school-based health clinic, Model Schools Paediatric Health Initiative

This study surveyed staff involved in paediatric health-care in the state of New South Wales. Questionnaires were sent to: 139 medical professionals in paediatric public health; 157 medical professionals in private practice; 179 nurses; and 125 allied health staff. There were 188 completed surveys (31%). The results showed higher endorsement of videoconferencing for educational or psychosocial applications than for patient management or treatment planning. Medical professionals (especially those in private practice) tended to give the lowest ratings for the potential usefulness of telemedicine. Apart from ratings for various effects of time and distance in the work setting, rural and non-rural professionals generally showed no significant differences, especially in attitudes to and understanding of telemedicine. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that ratings for the future use of videoconferencing (if it were available), in particular ratings for future use of telecommunications technology (e.g. email, telephone conferencing), were determined by factors largely independent of access to telemedicine. The data assist in interpreting the under-use of videoconferencing in health-care.
