Charting Vision Results

We use Skyward and double chart as well. It's so annoying. Our lead district nurse is trying to get us paper free and is having push back from the long timers who "don't trust technology."

I use healthmaster to chart my day to day entries and then record my screenings in their place on the state vaccine card. I hate double work so i make myself a big worksheet and just run off of that. It seems like a moot point to put it in healthmaster as well since it has to be recorded on the state card anyhow.

I have a small half sheet I complete when I do the screenings. I file that half sheet into the student's physical file. I then update my EMR with a simple pass or fail (if fail, I note follow-up, etc). It was seem a little redundant, but it actually doesn't take me long. I can do a batch entry for the majority of kids that pass screenings easily.

If a student transfers, I had printed out immunization and screening info from the EMR to add to their physical file.

I use Infinite Campus and chart vision results (slong with other screening results) in it. I don't put individual results into their paper files. I kind of have paper records, though, because I do write results down on a log as I am doing them, and then transfer the info onto IC. But the log is like a class list type thing, not individual student. So I just file those logs away each year and if I every had to look results up, I could.

I use SNAP and I document all screenings in SNAP. I print off a "Complete Health Record" when a student transfers, which has screenings, immunizations, current problems, and a generic list of nurse office visits. I do not write screenings in their health record.
