Telehealth Services

The District of Columbia Department of Health is seeking a vendor to deliver clinical telehealth services to students across approximately 187 public school health suites, aiming to improve access to timely and comprehensive care through virtual consultations. The contractor will provide real-time clinical support for acute conditions, scheduled follow-up appointments, and ongoing case management for students with complex health needs, working in coordination with school nurses and health technicians to integrate seamlessly into existing school-based workflows. In addition to direct patient care, the vendor will offer nurse consultations to support clinical decision-making and ensure continuity of care within the school environment. The services are designed to expand health equity and responsiveness by bringing specialized medical expertise directly to students without requiring off-site visits, thereby reducing absenteeism and improving health outcomes. The contract emphasizes collaboration with school personnel and the use of technology to enhance rather than replace existing school health infrastructure. While specific details such as contract duration, funding amount, or performance metrics are not disclosed, the solicitation is positioned as a forecast indicating future procurement intent and will likely lead to a formal request for proposals targeting vendors with proven experience in pediatric telehealth, clinical case management, and school-based health program support.
