School
Healthcare

Since schools bring large numbers of students and staff together, prudence dictates that as in any workplace a School Healthcare system must be in place to deal with such issues as First Aid, Medical Emergencies, and Detection of Contagious Conditions that could spread a group situation.
Unlike other workplaces, however, a School Healthcare system must also be established in schools to provide routine administration of medications, since students especially young students may not be able to assume this responsibility themselves, and concern for substance abuse has led to policies in most schools that prohibit older students from administrating their own medication.
School Healthcare to special education students require that schools provide the services necessary for these students to receive an appropriate education. Such services might include Monitoring Vital Signs, Changing Dressings, Catheterization, Tube Feeding, or Administering Oxygen etc. The school must also provide services to non-special education students with chronic health problems such as asthma, diabetes, and seizures in order that they can be educated. Services such as screenings and immunizations are also widely accepted as belonging in the schools, with the motivation having to do more with access, efficiency, and economies of scale than with liability.
