Do you use them? Any resources for ones that you love? Would love to find a blank, online, reproducible template.

I try to avoid IHPs at all costs. Special Ed occasionally backs me into a corner but I usually try to keep it simple; blanket nursing assessment and intervention. What use is an IHP to anyone at school other than the school nurse; the person who wrote the darn thing?

I don't use them. I write emergency action plans and WAY mor 504 plans than are necessary but not IHP's

I use them for diabetic students and any other student who may need specialized care. It is a good way to summarize physician orders and daily routines. Yes it is only the school nurse who uses IHPs, but in the event of my absence they make things easier for my sub!

I don't do IHPs with nursing diagnoses and goals etc.
I do a pretty detailed emergency action plan (I guess) with pertinent info about the diagnosis, emergency contacts, and summary of medications/doctor's orders.

Same here. We have IHP's with nursing goals, interventions, outcomes, etc. because we are eventually looking into Medicaid billing for nursing services and have to have that stuff.
