Physical Screening Update

Physical Screening Update.

Purpose: This enhancement was created to fix issues with the Physical Screening form. Previously the physical screening form work independently from the Sports Clearance report as well as the physical Information on the Immunization report. The following small changes were made to make it easier to add a sports clearance from the physical screening that can be viewed in a report as well as making physical screening information visible on a student's immunization page. We also tried to support the request that the school nurse's name be collected as well as the name of the physician that completed the physical. 

Steps: 

1. Navigate to the Physical Screening page. 

2. Select Add New Screening.

3. From the physical screening page you will notice a few changes. The sport physical check box has been removed. This box was removed due to the fact that selecting the sports physical box did not add a sport physical clearance for a student. Now to add a sports physical clearance for a student you can fill out the physical form and select the Save and Go To Clearances button at the bottom of the page to go to the students clearances and enter a sports clearance for the student. 

4. Once you have selected Save and Go To Clearances, you can select the sports clearance box enter the date of the physical and select the save button. This will save the clearance for the student,

 as well as add this student to the sports clearance report. 

5. Previously there was a nurse name drop down box on the physical screening. Once the screening was saved the report would show the nurse as the examiner. The nurse was not always the examiner since physicals were being performed, in many case at a physicians office. Now there is a Nurse dropdown box to indicate who is entering the physicals data as well as an Examiner type-in field, if nurses would like to collect the name of the individual who performed the physical (this box is not required). 

6. Physical Screening information can now be found on a students Immunization page. This change was made because physical information is tracked on the immunization report for our compliance reporting. In many cases this caused a situation where a nurse would enter the physical information but would not be able to see this information when trying to complete the Immunization report. We add this information to the immunization page for ease of access. The information will still need to be added to the immunization chart for the systems compliance reporting to work properly.
