The Conditions tool  lists all medical conditions that have been reported for a student at the school. From this tool, users are able to view or delete current conditions or create a new condition for a student. This tool also allows users to enter treatment information on a condition and establish a schedule for when treatment(s) should occur.

The Health Condition/EMT symbol will only appear next to the student's name throughout Infinite Campus if the following is set:

  • The System Preference Flag Health Conditions is set to Yes.
  • The Condition in the Condition List is marked as flagged.
  • The Health Condition assignment for the student is marked as flagged.

Health Condition Symbol

Conditions and treatments can be added for a student AFTER the Condition List and Treatment List are populated in System Administration.

Health Conditions and Treatments are often entered together. The Student Health interface combines the entry of conditions and the entry of treatments for complete health information on a student.

Conditions are entered into Campus with a Code and Description.  The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) medical coding system and/or district created codes and descriptions can be entered.  Add a Condition for a student using the Code Search or the Description Search box located in the top right corner and activated by selecting the magnifying glass icon. Conditions not previously entered in System Administration can be entered using the Code and Description fields.
