Given the sensitive nature of health information, it is important that school nurses have control over the data being added and updated. For this reason, information added and tracked in the Health Module is customizable according to each school’s health data needs.

The Health Kiosk, typically set up on a dedicated computer in the Health Office at a school, provides an easy method for students to check themselves in (or have an adult help them) for a medical visit.

Medication that needs to be administered or held for students can be tracked in the Veracross Health Module by adding a student medication record.

A number of health information reports are available under the Today section on the Health homepage. School nurses can use these reports to quickly view medications they need to administer for that day, view medical visits that have been requested by a student through the health kiosk, etc.

Medical visits can be used by the school nurse to track student visits to the health office. These records integrate with attendance notes, and can also be used to add and track medical screenings that might be required by the school.

The Health Kiosk is a feature of the Health module which the school nurse can use to track students who are coming to the health office for medical attention. Students can sign themselves into the nurse’s office using the kiosk, which automatically creates a medical visit record the school nurse can use during the student’s visit.

You can create a COVID-19 screening form in your parent portal — for parents to complete on behalf of their children — and teacher portal — for staff and faculty to complete for themselves — that is configurable and has queryable results.
