The Health Complaint Type editor allows the entry of complaints a student might have when coming to the health office, as part of the triage of events.  Health complaints can be associated with a health intervention and observation.

This editor also allows districts the ability to link observation and intervention types to specific complaints. When the health office staff selects a complaint on the Health Office Visits, a list of Observation Types and Intervention Types also display.
