The Health Module is used to document student health information. This study guide demonstrates how to set up lists used to record and track:
- Vaccine exemptions and compliance
- Health conditions and treatments
- Medication types and forms
- Information recorded during a health office visit
Vaccination Tracking
Vaccine Exemptions
Districts may create a list of acceptable reasons for waiving immunization requirements.
Tool Search: Vaccine Exemptions
The Vaccine Exemption tool allows for the entry of acceptable reasons for waiving a student's immunization requirement. The most common forms of vaccine exemptions include medical and religious waivers, though other exemptions may be created.
State Reporting Notes
A district may define its own exemptions, but it may impact state reporting.
Some states have a State Exemption code field that must be mapped to each Exemption created to report properly.
Exemptions displays in health reports and on a student’s Immunizations tool. Exemptions may be added to any existing vaccine. When the vaccine is not required, it does not need an exemption assigned to it.
Add New Exemptions
- Select the New button from the action bar. The Vaccine Exemption Detail editor displays.
- Enter a Code for the exemption.
- Enter a Name for the exemption.
- Enter a Seq(uence) to specify the order in which this exemption displays in the list of exemptions. This is the order on the Vaccine Exemption editor and in the Waiver dropdown field of the student’s Immunization tool.
- Optional: Enter a Start and End Date for the exemption.
- Optional: Mark the Require Expires Date checkbox to make the exemption expiration date required on the student's Immunizations tool.
- Flag the checkboxes of the vaccines for which the exemption may apply.
- Click the Save button when finished.
When an end date has been entered for a vaccine exemption, that option displays in red text when the exemption end date is past when Entering a Vaccine Waiver for a student. When a student already has a waiver assigned to them and an exemption end date is added and past, the name of the waiver and the date of the waiver display in red on the student's Immunizations tool.

Compliance Labels
Compliance labels are used to indicate whether or not a student's immunization status is considered compliant.
Classic View: System Administration > Health > Compliance Labels
Search Terms: Compliance Labels
Compliance labels are state-specific and are pre-populated by Infinite Campus. If a district must add new compliance labels, it should do so before creating actual immunization rules and conditions.
Compliance Labels
The Compliance Label tool does not set or calculate compliancy results; it merely populates the list of compliance labels available for selection when creating immunization rules.
This section is not applicable to states with hard-coded immunizations, as new vaccine rules cannot be created; therefore, compliance labels cannot be modified or assigned.
Create New Compliance Labels
- Click the New icon on the action bar.
- Enter a Name for the compliance label. This will be the status available for selection in the Compliance Label field of the Immunization Rule Detail editor of the Vaccines tab. It will also display as a label on a student’s Immunizations tab.
- Enter the Seq(uence), or the order of this item, as it should display in the Compliance Label dropdown field of the Immunization Rule Detail editor of the Vaccines tab.
- If the compliance label is a non-compliant status, flag the Non-Compliant checkbox.
Any compliance label with this checkbox marked will display the compliance label in red font (indicating a warning, commonly used for non-compliance) on a student’s Immunizations tab. Otherwise, if this checkbox is NOT marked, the compliance label will display in green font (commonly used to indicate compliance, exemptions, grace periods or no requirements). See the Viewing Student Compliance section of this document for more information.
Compliance Labels Assigned to Rules
Existing compliance labels populate the Compliance Label dropdown field of the Immunization Rule Detail editor. Each rule requires a compliance label to be selected from the dropdown list to indicate how the rule and its conditions should be applied to students.
Student Compliance
Compliance labels provide a visual indication of a student’s compliance status related to a vaccine. The label that displays for a student is determined by the compliance calculation and the compliance label assigned to the rule.
Compliance labels are displayed for the required vaccines listed in the student’s Immunization Summary editor.
Compliance labels listed in the editor will display in red or green font.
- Red font indicates the student is NOT compliant with a vaccine requirement.
- Green font indicates the student is any status other than non-compliant, as indicated (e.g., "Compliant," "No Requirement," "Exempt," "In Grace Period").
Compliance labels will also display in Health reports (not color-coded).
Conditions And Treatments
Health Conditions
Health conditions are conditions or diseases students may have that a school may be tracking. Health conditions can be linked to approved medications and treatment that are also being tracked in Campus.
Tool Search: Conditions
The Conditions tool lists all medical conditions that have been reported for a student at the school. From this tool, users are able to view or delete current conditions or create a new condition for a student. This tool also allows users to enter treatment information on a condition and establish a schedule for when treatment(s) should occur.
The Health Condition/EMT symbol only displays next to the student's name throughout Infinite Campus if the following is set:
- The System Preference Flag Health Conditions is set to Yes.
- The Condition in the Condition List is marked as flagged.
- The Health Condition assignment for the student is marked as flagged.
Conditions and treatments can be added for a student AFTER the Condition List and Treatment List are populated in System Administration.
Health Conditions and Treatments are often entered together. The Student Health interface combines the entry of conditions and the entry of treatments for complete health information on a student.
Conditions are entered into Campus with a Code and Description. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) medical coding system and/or district created codes and descriptions can be entered. Add a Condition for a student using the Code Search or the Description Search box located in the top right corner and activated by selecting the magnifying glass icon. Conditions not previously entered in System Administration can be entered using the Code and Description fields.

Workflow of Treatments
After Conditions and Treatments are entered in System Administration, and Conditions are assigned to students on their Conditions tool, Treatments are assigned to those conditions. For students who receive treatments on a regular basis for ongoing conditions, treatment Health Office Visits can be scheduled. All active treatments for a student are available for selection on a Health Office Visit.

Several different types of information can be recorded when documenting student visits to the Health Office.
Complaint Types
Complaint Types are used to describe the reason a student has come into the health office.
Classic View: System Administration > Health > Health Complaint Type
Search Terms: Health Complaint Type
The Health Complaint Type editor allows the entry of complaints a student might have when coming to the health office, as part of the triage of events. Health complaints can be associated with a health intervention and observation.
