School Nurse Module Patient Detail

To view or edit patient demographics, a patient search must be performed first. To view the patient's demographic, click on the patient's row in the search results. The Patient Detail page opens.

School Nurse users should always see the most current demographic information for a patient, ignoring privacy rules which is a state configurable administration property. If the state does not allow School Nurses to see private information, then only private fields entered by the nurse users will be shown.

The School and Grade fields, and the Include on Reports option, can be updated on this page. After updating these fields, click Update to save the changes.

To edit patient demographic information, click Edit. The School Nurse Patient Demographics Edit page opens. Make changes as necessary and click Save. See Add/Edit Patient Records for more information about editing patient records and for the available fields and descriptions.
