Annotation: This policy brief defines a set of measures for evaluating grants awarded under the School-Based Telehealth Network Grant Program, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) Office for the Advancement of Telehealth. Grants were targeted to rural, frontier, and underserved communities providing telehealth services for school children, with a particular focus on five clinical areas: asthma, behavioral health, diabetes, health weight, and oral health. The goal of the project was to identify a common set of measures that could be collected from each of the grantees for a cross-grantee assessment of school-based telehealth services, utilization, process, and outcomes.
