    STUDENT ACUITY ASSESSMENT TOOL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most of you may recall Hannah asking for your medically fragile student data towards the end of every school year. Currently, OSNA and ODE are updating the acuity assessment criteria to help school nurses (and districts) better understand what the criteria is that distinguishes between general, chronically ill, medically complex, medically fragile, and nurse dependent students. This tool will help aide in the consistent data reporting. That being said, there will be no data collection at the end of this school year. <\/strong>The goal is to have the updated acuity tool up and ready by October 2023 (at the latest).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
