ND eCare School Health Program

The ND eCare School Health Program was developed with the mindset of providing or extending school nursing services in an affordable manner through a telehealth platform. The goal of the program is to minimize health related barriers to learning by providing safe, effective care from an experienced school nurse. 

Our Approach

CREA partners with Avel eCare to provide schools with all-day access to school nurses. CREA's school nurses provide the needed medical training and supports for school staff. The nurses at Avel eCare provide the all-day school nurse access for schools to assist in caring for students with:

  • Chronic conditions - diabetes, asthma, seizures, allergies, etc.

  • Urgent needs - injury and illness

"It is remarkable to have an RN at your fingertips, for staff and students we can check fevers, sore throats and ears, with all the attachments a nurse can check the patient over and because she has access to our parent information she contacts them. It takes the office out of the equation and provides parents with an exact plan and sends them to their next step."

Services Provided

Primary Nurse Service

The Primary Nurse Service serves as the school building's school nurse. The eNurse will obtain doctor's orders, create care plans, attend school 504 and health related IEP meetings, manage the care of students with chronic conditions and students with illness and injury. 

Extender Nurse Service

The Extender Nurse Service supports your school nurse by "filling the gap" when they are off-site or otherwise unavailable. The eNurses work in collaboration with the on-site school nurse to provide a continuation of student care. 

eCare Behavioral Health

eCare Behavioral Health Services provides student counseling services through the telehealth platform. This service removes the barrier of travel for students and their families. Counseling services are provided by a LMSW employed by Avel eCare.
