Add a Medical Incident
You can track medical incidents in HeadMaster.
To add medical incidents, you must have the security option enabled in User Administration > Profile. Otherwise, you cannot add medication or view incidents.
Administrators have this option enabled automatically and must turn it on for any other user that needs it, including admin groups.
The Medical tab displays in Students, Prospective Students, Staff, and Teachers. From there, you can add medicine or medical incidents.
Adding medical incidents lets you log fevers, injuries, time out of class, and medications dispensed. A nurse or administrator can also contact parents and email an incident report to them, including why their child was treated and any medications administered.Note: To email parents, you must have a desktop email client activated. The email option will not work with web-based email services such as Gmail or Yahoo. If you want to use a different contact method, you can copy all relevant incident information and paste it into the email or messaging app of your choice.
You can also generate a date-based report of medical incidents. This lets your school nurse send information regarding this week's medical incidents to administrative staff or search on how many students have an illness or symptoms during a specific period of time.
