4. Medical Alerts Question

   MWOOD,LPN replied to MWOOD,LPN's topic in School

   Our school uses Focus and it will report some of the information needed but not if there is an emergency med on campus. I am in a K-8 school so it gets difficult when they start switching classes.

5. Medical Alerts Question

   MWOOD,LPN replied to MWOOD,LPN's topic in School

   I am just trying to find the best way to approach this and make sure that I am covered in the long run. The big issue is that subs do not have access to our computer system if they are subbing.
