Patient Detail Screens

Overview

Every person in the system has a corresponding patient record. The patient record is accessible only through the ‘Find Student’ and ‘Find Faculty/Staff’ queries on the Health homepage. To open a patient detail screen, click the “View Detail” link in the query. The patient detail screen displays all information regarding a student’s medical history including emergency contact information.

The following explains each tab on the patient detail screen and the fields necessary for entering health information.

General

The ‘General’ tab provides an overview of the student’s medical information. The first five fields are pre-populated from the person record and are read-only on this screen.

• Blood Type: use the drop-down menu to select the student’s blood type.
• Weight: enter the student’s weight.

Insurance
Use the insurance-related fields to enter the student’s insurance provider information. Both medical and dental insurance information can be entered in this section.

Communication

• Email Parents: use this field to send an email to everyone with legal custody of the student.
• Email Teachers: use this field to send an email to the student’s teachers, coaches, etc.
• Email Academic Teachers: use this field to send an email to the student’s academic teachers.

Notes Fields

• Allergies/Symptoms: enter any allergy or symptoms notes for the student that others need to be aware of (e.g. broken leg, needs to use the elevator).
• Current Medications: enter the current medications the student is taking.
• Medications Allowed: enter the medications the school can administer to the student.
• General Medical Notes: enter any additional medical notes for the student.
  

Important Note: The ‘Allergies/Symptoms,’ and ‘Current Medications,’ alerts are visible to all school constituents and updatable by those with the Division Head security role. The ‘General Medical Notes’ field is only visible by those with the Medical_2 security role, as more personal information may be stored here. These fields display on both the patient detail screen (with the addition of ‘Medications Allowed’ and on the emergency contact tab on a student record. These notes fields are intentionally kept visible school-wide to facilitate communication between the health office and the rest of the school. They are not meant to store sensitive health information and should not be used for that purpose. Sensitive information regarding a student’s medication, immunizations, or other medical information should be stored on their respective records. Instead, these fields should be used for communicating health information that would be important for other school members, such as a teacher or coach, to know in addition to the health office.

See the Health Information Document Configuration for full options customizing and visibility options.

Files

The Files tab displays a list of all the student’s files, both health and non-health related. To add a new file, select the ‘Attach Files’ link and upload the file using the File Upload application. Be sure to select the appropriate file type (e.g. Health) to ensure that the file is accessible only by those with the authorized security role.

Important Note: The file type: Health is not a standard type in the File Upload application, but it is a good idea to add this type to ensure that health documents remain private. To add a new File Type, select the plus sign next to the ‘File Security’ link under the System Configuration section on the System homepage. Add the name of the file type (in this case Health) in the description field and check off the desired security roles on the Security tab that should have access to the health documents.
