Utilization of School and Primary Health Care Resources for Common Health Problems of Schoolchildren

Susan Gilman Brink MS1 and Philip R. Nader MD1

1 Division of School Health and Community Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Galveston

The episode of care is used as a concept to assess potential areas for interaction between private and public health care facilities in the community and the school health service in child health care. Health care utilization (both patient-initiated and provider-initiated) of a random sample of elementary school-aged children in three ethnic groups was observed for two years. The analysis suggests areas of child health care in which a school health service can be used more effectively with community health care providers: care for chronic childhood diseases, follow-up for acute infections and some trauma, and health maintenance.
