Our schools currently use a daily health room log-- all students are recorded on the same sheet. Very basic info- time in/out, "brief description" of complaint/intervention, discharged to class/home. While it is very easy to tally it all up for my monthly stats and to track trends in illness across the schools on a given day, it is a wee-bit noncompliant with everything we ever learned as far as health records! Plus, it is difficult to track a particular student's HR visits without paging through stacks of papers.
Our schools' computer system would allow HR visit info to be entered, but I am the lone nurse in the district. The secretaries who staff the health rooms just don't have time to do more than jot down the basics, and the few volunteers I have wouldn't be able to access the computer records. The previous nurse tried to keep up with transferring info from the log to the computer system, but fell behind miserably.
How do you document your students' health room visits? If you do have individual student records, how do you keep it all organized (cards, binders, etc)? And, how do you keep track of your daily/monthly stats?
Any copies of forms (individual or monthly log) would be appreciated!
