Abstract
School-aged children with chronic conditions (CCC) are increasing in number and bring health needs into classrooms, with implications for learning. Changing technologies and complex care requirements for CCC have left school nurses, the primary health care professional in educational settings, seeking support and further training to provide quality care for CCC. This article describes the development and implementation of a Web-based program, eSchoolCare, designed to extend the expertise of professionals in an academic health care system to school nurses to improve CCC care. The eSchoolCare project serves as an exemplar of an innovative health care delivery support system.
