We are trying to digitize as much as possible in the nurse's office for the upcoming school year, including moving medication authorizations to uploaded PDFs instead of hard copies. However, in general, teachers do not have access to the nurse's office; only office staff does. In the past, when we've had hard copies of everything, we made copies for teachers to keep in their classroom emergency bag. We plan to collect the authorizations for next year through the medical form on the student checklist and I've included spaces for parents to upload the forms, which are then added to the student's medical record in the nurse's office.
So, two questions: should we just plan on printing out copies of the completed PDFs for the emergency bag, or does anyone have a better way to handle that I'm not thinking of? And if we need to print copies of the PDFs, is there a way to notify nurses when a form has been uploaded? It's going to be impossible to try to constantly monitor.
Thank you for your help!
