Student Health Record

The Student Health Record is the foundation of SNAP Health Center EHR. It’s where the current and historical health information for your entire student population resides.  It includes areas such as:  

SNAP security roles ensure that your valuable student health data remains secure, accessible by only those with appropriate security access.

Medication Management

SNAP Health Center is focused on complete and accurate transcription processes with a simple workflow. Student Orders offer robust documentation of all current and discontinued medications, procedures, and tests, so you have a full history for each student that is organized by current and past school years.  Key components include:

• Simple Order Transcription
• Medication Refill Alerts
• Mosby’s Nursing Drug Reference Guide
• Audited Inventory
• Integrated ICD-10 codes
• Health Notes

SNAP allows you to schedule the regular administration of orders as well as record PRN administrations.  All order administrations are fully audited.

Immunization Compliance

99% of American children have received some level of vaccination. A major contributor to this success are all the school requirements for immunizations- a responsibility that typically falls to the school nurse. It’s an important responsibility, but can be incredibly time consuming.

PSNI has a dedicated Nursing Informatics team to annually evaluate state immunization requirements and offer support. The software automatically calculates to your state specific rules with an unprecedented reputation for deciphering the intricacies of complicated vaccine calculations— so you can be confident that you always have the latest information.

• Student vaccinations are charted and organized within the student health record, so you can easily view compliance and follow up with parents as necessary
• Download state compliance rules and let the software calculate compliance for you
• If a student is non-compliant, he or she is flagged automatically—and you can see why at a glance. You can also apply exemptions, including a manual override, and you can indicate future or conditional compliance

The SNAP Immunization Registry Link connects you with the immunization registries from 35 states and counting, letting you import student immunization data from these registries automatically with the click of a button.

Health Screenings

SNAP Health Center includes many common, pre-formatted screening forms—including vision, dental, hearing, height & weight, and sports physical exams—and you can also create an unlimited number of customizable screening forms to match your state regulations.

One-click recording of screenings that meet the “pass” criteria for individual students or groups of students expedites the documentation process. Screenings may be set with follow-up or recheck dates, along with one-click appointment reminders. Screening referrals management allows users to generate form letters and track referral progress.  Standard SNAP screening formats include:

Individual Health Plans (IHP)

Individualized Healthcare Plans (IHPs) formalize the daily care and accommodations for students with special health care needs such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, and cardiac conditions. These services help attendance and provide an optimal learning environment.

SNAP leads users through the process of creating and customizing a plan for students that includes diagnoses, interventions, and goals. IHPs are easily reviewed, revised, and shared with the parents and the educational team.

• IHPs are fully integrated into the student’s EHR to provide a comprehensive plan for each student
• The unique built-in review system allows student progress to be tracked and monitored from year to year and as they transfer to different schools

Emergency Action Plans (EAP)

In case of an emergency, it’s vital to have a clear and comprehensive action plan to help staff make the right decisions. SNAP Health Center’s Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) allow for the care and management of each student’s health condition. These plans may be created using a condition specific template or existing plans can be imported directly into SNAP Health Center and attached to the student’s health record for easy access.

Daily Encounters

School nurses are expected to manage the health needs of the entire student population, including the complex medical care of students with special needs. These tasks require powerful management tools. But these tools also have to be easy to use. That’s where SNAP Health Center electronic health record (EHR) can help.

With some school nurses seeing as many as 90+ students a day, nurses don’t have time for tedious charting processes. SNAP Health Center supports fast, comprehensive documentation of any type of student health encounter: illness, injury, meeting, or education.  Nurses can instantly document common visits by using templates. Besides saving time, templates also ensure that district protocols are followed for specific visit types. With one-click access to the student health record from an encounter, nurses always have critical student information readily available

SNAP Health Center provides a comprehensive overview of all scheduled daily medications, procedures, and tests. It allows nurses to quickly see which administrations are scheduled for the day, view the details of specific orders, and confirm delivery.

Data Analytics

Evaluating the health of a school district allows administrators to make educated decisions to provide a safe and healthy environment for students to learn and grow.

SNAP Health Center lets you generate reports from any of the information stored in the software for in-depth analysis of key health trends. SNAP’s report generator searches the database for user-defined data and returns a summary of its findings in seconds. Intuitive navigation makes finding the correct report a cinch. From the number of times a certain medication was administered to the number of injuries caused by a particular piece of playground equipment, reports can be as broad or specific as you need.

• Hundreds of topics let you create reports about individual students, groups of students, schools, or your entire district
• Year-end and state report statistics are generated within seconds, saving the school nurse valuable time and providing critical information on the health of the school district as a whole.
• Customizable search parameters let you generate an infinite number of user-designed reports
• Results can be group processed to expedite tasks, such as mass printing or emailing form letters for non-compliant students

Health Surveillance

Newly emerging and reemerging infectious diseases and threats of bioterrorism have gained unprecedented attention in recent years. School districts are uniquely positioned on the frontlines of public health and early detection.

Behind the scenes, your SNAP Health Center continuously monitors student symptoms, absences, alerts, and health conditions for potential cluster cases and outbreak threats across the entire district or state. Real-time detection keeps administrators, school nurses, and state Department of Public Health officials connected through HIPAA-compliant notifications. Early detection allows administrators to act quickly to reduce or eliminate potential health hazards.
