5.1.7. Saving Referrals

Based on the Z score of a student, the nurse can optionally enter a Referral by selecting Yes or No indicating whether the student has received the nurse's recommendation. Once entered, pressing the Save button confirms that the referral (yes or no) is recorded along with the basic health screening information entered for the student. 

 

Referrals can be recorded against each student individually (see section 5.1.7.1 below). Alternatively, the referral can be updated for multiple students, i.e. in bulk with one action (see section 5.1.7.2 below).

 

Referrals can be saved at the same time while recording the student's health record for the first time in the active academic year. However, if needed, the referral can be updated after the health record is entered, not necessarily at the same time as recording this data. 

5.1.7.1. Saving Referrals for Individual Students

To update the referral of an individual student, tick the checkbox adjacent to the student eSIS number and name to select the student, before updating the referral column value of the selected student.

Above: Select a student using the checkbox on the left, and "Yes" from the dropdown list under the Referral column

5.1.7.2. Saving Referrals in Bulk

This option is useful in case health records are already saved for several students however the referral is not updated. In this case, do the following steps

 

  1. Search the students required to be updated using any of the steps. Please refer to the tip below in the Information section below
  2. Select all students required to be updated using the checkbox on the left. Use the checkbox on the top of the table to select all students displayed
  3. Select "Yes" from the dropdown list in the Referral column header
  4. Save the transaction
Above: Referral can be applied to all students with checkboxes (on the left) ticked, by selecting from the dropdown list in the header.
Above: Once selected, the value chosen is applied to all selected students

Tip

If you have already entered basic health screening information for several students, for example one or more homerooms or possibly the entire school, and now you wish to update the referrals. You can do so by searching for students who are of abnormal growth, for example overweight, obese or severely obese, and update the referrals with one action by selecting "Yes" in the dropdown list placed in the Referral column header.

 

Selecting the required students can be done in two ways.

  1. Pasting a delimited list of student eSIS numbers on the search bar. Please refer to the information tip mentioned in section 5.1.2 Search Filters on how to use this feature. 
  2. Or entering a keyword in the Search field placed above the top of the right corner of the table. Entering any keyword, for example overweight, will filter students of this category.
