Health Office Visits

Tool Search: Health Office Visits

The Health Office Visits tab allows a school to track the time and date when a student came into the health office, when the student left, and why the student was there. From this tool, a district is able to establish a care pathway by documenting any complaints, medications, treatments, observations, interventions or discharges related to a student’s health office visit.

All complaints, treatments, observations, interventions, and discharges are predefined by the district to assure that consistent and predictable care is offered for all students. Medication records are created for all medications a student may have administered at school.

Medication information, including Remaining/Submitted doses, Medication Strength, Medication Form, Route, Directions, Amount per Dose, and Dose Measurement fields will be automatically populated from the Medications tool for scheduled visits or when Add Medication Dose is selected. These items are not editable from the Health Office Visits tab. 

The following instructions describe how a health office visit is entered when appointments are not scheduled. See the Health Office Calendar for information on processing scheduled health office visits.

  • The Recorded By field is populated based on the Health checkbox on the staff person's District Assignment record. Because of this, a school must be selected in the Campus toolbar.
  • When multiple complaints are assigned to one health office visit, observations and interventions are attached to the correct complaint.
  • Users who do not have Locked Health Office Visit tool rights are allowed to edit unlocked health office visits and view (but not edit) locked health office visits.

For example: Johnson, Mary (01/01/2009 - 01/01/2010).

Archived Health Visits

Users still have the ability to review data in report format from the Health Office Visits tab for individual students. If your district was using Campus before June of 2010, you may have health data that exists in health tables that are no longer used. This report pulls that data. This report will not report data from after June 2010.

This report can also be generated in batch form by generating the Archived Health Visits Report.
