SIS 2000+ Health

Sec. 3, Medical History

This program keeps track of a student's medical history as dated events, or "health concerns", with accompanying comments and database flags. All student names, with basic demographic data from the Student Editor program, will automatically appear as records in the Medical History program, according to the group selected. From here, medical events are entered as they happen.

3.1 Open Medical History screen
Click on the Medical History button on the main menu screen of the Health module. The opening screen (Fig. 10) will default to the first student in the SIS 2000+ database, alphabetically by last name. Medical events (if any) are listed chronologically in reverse order (with the most recent event at the top).
