Collecting, tracking and managing forms for students might not be quite as daunting of a chore if all students needed the same forms, but this just isn’t the case. Every class, every grade has a student or group of students with special requirements and those requirements need to be collected in such a way that these students are separated from the general population and easily...
Every year, schools collect health history and emergency contact information, and almost every year the information remains the same. Parents are required to complete form after form with information that was provided to the school the previous year. Wouldn’t it be great cimply the whole process by completing the forms online? Wouldn't it be even better if parents can log in and simply update/verify the...
“Be Prepared”. That’s the motto of the Boy Scouts of America. "Be prepared for what?" Someone once asked Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting. "Why, for any old thing." said Baden-Powell.It would be impossible to be prepared for “any old thing” that happens at our schools.

Each year we learn more from our clients as they describe different issues they face in the day-to-day management of medical records. Many school nurses tell us it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks during the summer to collect and review as many forms as possible. If the review isn't done by the first day of school, it's nearly impossible to collect the...
I had the pleasure of meeting with a group of dedicated independent school educators from the VA, MD, and DC areas on January 19th in Tyson's Corner. I want to thank everyone for attending the meeting and I hope that all were educated. Goals of the group before the meeting ranged from learning how to remove paper from the health system, to understanding how confidentiality...
