The Health Office Visits tab allows a school to track the time and date when a student came into the health office, when the student left, and why the student was there. From this tool, a district is able to establish a care pathway by documenting any complaints, medications, treatments, observations, interventions or discharges related to a student’s health office visit.
All complaints, treatments, observations, interventions, and discharges are predefined by the district to assure that consistent and predictable care is offered for all students. Medication records are created for all medications a student may have administered at school.
Medication information, including Remaining/Submitted doses, Medication Strength, Medication Form, Route, Directions, Amount per Dose, and Dose Measurement fields will be automatically populated from the Medications tool for scheduled visits or when Add Medication Dose is selected. These items are not editable from the Health Office Visits tab.
The following instructions describe how a health office visit is entered when appointments are not scheduled. See the Health Office Calendar for information on processing scheduled health office visits.
- The Recorded By field is populated based on the Health checkbox on the staff person's District Assignment record. Because of this, a school must be selected in the Campus toolbar.
- If multiple complaints are assigned to one health office visit, observations and interventions are attached to the correct complaint.
- Users who do not have Locked Health Office Visit tool rights are allowed to edit unlocked health office visits and view (but not edit) locked health office visits.
Enter a Health Office Visit
- Select the New button near the top of the tab. A Health Office Visit window will appear near the bottom of the page.

- Enter the Recorded By box by using the dropdown list and selecting the appropriate name. This field will default to the current user. Only staff with a Health district assignment will appear on this list. If the staff person has a Health License designation on the District Assignments tool, this title also displays at the end of the person's name (i.e. Smith, Joe: RN).
When entering a new office visit, the Recorded By field displays the user that is currently logged in. When editing an existing office visit, the Recorded By field will display the person who originally entered the visit.
Staff district assignments must be active to appear in the Recorded By dropdown list. On a saved Health Office Visit, if the staff member's district assignment has ended, the date range of the district assignment will appear next to the staff member's name. For example: Johnson, Mary (01/01/2009 - 01/01/2010).
