EMERGENCY CARE PLAN

Even though the emergency care plan is found on the Health Plan menu by default, an Individual Health Plan does not have to exist in order to create an emergency care plan. To create an Emergency Care Plan, the case manager or nurse must have rights to be a Health Plan Manager. Students must be assigned in the Assign Cases section to that individual, as a Health Plan Manager.

After an Emergency Care Plan is created and is in either Final, Correct or Inactive status; paras, transportation staff or teachers can receive a printed copy of the plan using the student summary report. The student summary may be printed in batch mode or individually by student. (Refer to Student Summary Reports in Reporting section of the documentation.)

Creating an Emergency Care Plan

1. As Health Plan Manager, click on My Cases

Note that the column ‘Last IHP’ is blank for these students. Also, each column is sortable. Click on column heading to sort.
