You can manage allergies in the Health Record module following these steps:
- Update the list of allergies you would like to track at your school
- Add allergies and alerts to students
Update Allergies
Review the list of allergies you would like to track. SchoolInsight has a list of common allergies, but you can add new allergies or edit existing allergies to deactivate or update them.
You can decide if the allergies are shown to staff in the Student - Single View and Lunch module, or you can keep them private to Health Record admins only.
To create new allergies:
- Go to Admin Main > Health Records > Allergy Types
- Create Allergy Type
- (Optional) Check the box to Allow staff to view this allergy type
- Save
Enter Student Allergies
Once you have updated your list of allergies, you can enter the allergies and alerts for a student.
To enter a student allergy/alert:
- Go to Admin Main > Health Records > Health Records - Student View
- Search for a student
- Go to the Alerts/Allergies tab
- Edit Alerts/Allergies
-
Enter any Medical Alerts
- Medical alerts make teachers and staff aware of a student's critical or life-threatening medical needs.
- Check the boxes for any allergies that apply to the student
- (Optional) Add pertinent notes
- Check the certification box
- Save
After entering student allergies, you can generate the Alert/Allergy Details report. It is commonly used to provide allergy lists to staff overseeing a field trip. To generate the report, go to Admin Main > Health Records > Alert/Allergy Details and choose the relevant options. You can filter down to a particular Allergy Type or show Allergies only Viewable by Staff if you would like.
