Responsibilities and Impact School-based health care coordination is the deliberate organization of comprehensive health care activities, including those that address social determinants of health, to advance equitable health outcomes. It entails sharing information and maintaining communication among all those concerned with a student’s health needs and care. This includes students; parents/guardians; school-based staff, including nurses, social workers, school counselors, school psychologists, and educators; primary, mental, vision, and oral health care providers; and other community-based health care professionals.
Care coordination involves community collaboration and can strengthen the connection between schools and the broader community, creating a network of support for students and families. This network helps young people access comprehensive health services and addresses social factors such as housing, food security, and transportation. It can improve health equity, particularly for students who experience barriers to access because of structural inequities or where they live.
The Seattle Mayor’s Office allocated funding to increase access to mental health supports in Seattle schools. One of the ways Public Health—Seattle and King County (PHSKC) is addressing this need (in addition to increasing the number of mental health providers in middle and high schools) is to establish a new school-based behavioral health care coordinator role in up to 21 schools to support increased access to behavioral health services.
