Giselle:

Great question. Amanda hit on many of the things to consider with telehealth -whether informally or formally arranged. The nurses at camp should have access to a prescriber (MD, NP, PA)who has signed standing orders and hopefully that person would be willing to have some discussion regarding RN questions and assessment findings. This could be another option.

Your relationship with the families is key to making decisions about elevating care. This is the reason we encourage camp nurses to really “beef up” their assessment skills and be able to share findings with other healthcare providers who can give feedback.

Take care
