What computer program do you use?

Our District uses Health Office 5.7 which is seems soooooo archaic. It has some potential, but also has it's limitations. We also don't use it 100% of the time. Many nurses continue to write on paper or the chart because of this program. They are looking at upgrading but only upgrading Health Office. Is there another program you use and would recommend?

We use eschool, too. I like the fact that it's integrated with the main school demographic information, but it feels frumpy and hard to use sometimes.

Awaiting arrival of SNAP. I use EPIC at the hospital and it looks almost identical. We have Engrade for the school and they don't have a health module.

I like the integration too. The last district I worked for had the school system and then a separate nurse's program and I was always clicking between the two.

I also like the reports I can run through eschool but I'm still learning how to do all of that.

Our School uses Infinite Campus. It is for demographics, grades, attendance, health, ect. This is my first year using the entire health program (added medications and health office visits) and is so far going well.

I loved SNAP. But my school moved over to SchoolBrains, which I think is MA specific currently. It has a health module, but it was an after thought. Entering visits is fine, but I cannot run any useful report and the immunization requirements are set-up and missing a flag for the required 7th grade tdap in my state (it tells me students are compliant without it). I have to go through and check every student I've entered by hand and I manage an excel spreadsheet. SNAP was awesome and you can run missing immunization reports! I miss it very much...

We use SNAP and I love it! We had health E tools before and it was awful. SNAP took some getting used to, but you can tell that it's designed by nurses. Things flow in a very logical way and after a few uses your typical interventions are pulled to the top, so it makes charting the little stuff very quick. It pulls student data(new students, classroom teacher, DOB) from our main system, so that's helpful too.

We use Power School...nothing powerful about it

Health Office Anywhere. It's okay.

Looking forward to it. Surprised Ma. doesn't have SNAP as they are Boston based, we in Md. are pretty loyal to local companies. We only have 125 kids, so I manually check immunizations, only takes a day at most and then followup. I couldn't justify the cost for the immunization module. There is going to be a steeper learning curve for my wife who subs for me. She doesn't have EPIC experience. She last worked on ancient Meditech platform.

MMS Modular Management System Has its plusses and minuses, but overall its OK

We use Skyward. It does the demographics, attendance, grades, etc. etc. as well. The only thing I can compare it to is OneChart which I use at the hospital, but it wouldn't been a good fit for a school setting. Its nice to only need one program for all info including health though!
