NURSE MEETING TOMORROW, 9/24
Nurse Meeting Reminder
Wednesday, September 24
Caldera High School
Zocola Room 105
School is out at 215 so please plan to arrive at Caldera ready to go at 2pm.
Substitute nurses are welcome to attend but not required.
CONCUSSIONS
Wendy Beall and Margy Vrbata from HDESD will be joining us at the nurse meeting tomorrow to share information on concussion coaching.
Required Procedures for Student Concussion or other Brain Injury. Please review this document before the meeting. BLS is working on updating our district Concussion Management Plan, ensuring concussion management teams are established at each site, and revising the temporary accommodations form.
To help with this work, I’m collecting data on the current availability of concussion management teams at each site. Please take a few minutes this week to complete this form.
HEALTH MANAGEMENT PLANS
Fax cover letters
All health management plans should be uploaded into Synergy WITHOUT any fax cover letters. Please remove these items and re-upload into Synergy.
Legibility
Some areas of signed seizure HMPs that are faxed back to us are not legible. When they are downloaded, staff cannot read the instructions on the HMP or the Seizure First Aid instructions. We will update the blank seizure HMP on the nurse manual and remove the highlighted gray areas so this will not be a problem moving forward. We will discuss what we should do about the current plans during our nurse meeting tomorrow, 9/24.
Records Clerks
PLEASE remember to send the records clerks updated HMPs so they can be uploaded to the SE side. Please go back and email the records clerks at [email protected] any of your HMPs that were not sent to them. Please indicate on the email that the HMP has been uploaded in the Documents tab but needs to be uploaded to the SE side.
