  2. Need More Characters!

    We submitted this last year but really need this addressed. Currently our medication dosage unit codes only allow for 5 characters. We enter the dose unit of medications and have run into this more than once that if a dose is in the 10000s we are unable to qualify WHAT the measurement is. For example: 10000mg 10000units etc. This is a safety concern because we need to be able to denote WHAT the measurement is for that medication. I have attached a screen shot. I am trying to enter a medication that is 12000 units. Melissa Anez 320-616-2208\n\nRoyalton School District…

  3. Add Lice Screening to Entry By Homeroom

    Please add a Health Test of "Lice Screening" to be able to be entered by Homeroom (and Class?) It would save countless hours for nurses input of this screen for lice.
    Huge time savings when it comes to data entry for nurses.

  4. Student Health Report

    Student Health Report and the report in the Quick Print area needs to include results for Convex lens Stereo depth perception Color blindness as required by PDE. Currently there is no ability to add these results to this report for an overall printout of all vision screenings. Nurses currently would have to create/print a separate Data Mining report for all students whose records need sent to other PA districts and for any all health printing of records.

  6. Diabetes Care log add CGM field

    FDA has approved the use of Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) for treatment of diabetes. We need a field added to the Diabetes Care Log (tab in office visit) and Diabetes Care Log tab from Student Profile. This number should have a 3 digit field with no leading zero. The field can be labeled "CGM"

    Right now the Diabetes Care log in Office Visits works better/differently that using the Diabetes Care Log from the Student Profile tabs. See RFE 2927779. In Office Visit you can add multiple times blood glucose but this feature has not yet been…

  8. "Administered By" - restriction option

    The goal of this enhancement is to give the districts the option to restrict the data that can be entered into the "Administered By" field when administering student medications.

    Our school nurses indicate that standard accepted medical practice is for the person who is administering the medication to be the same person who is also entering the data into the student's medication administration record. By allowing the Skyward user to enter someone else (other than the person logged into Skyward) in the "Administered By" field of a student record without actually seeing that person administer the medication that has the…

  9. Mass add health note

    Would love the option to add a health note but be able to have it chart in several children's files at once. So like a mass add medication but a mass add health note

  11. Ranges for Student Entry Resubmission

    From the Student Check-In screen under Office Visits users are currently able to look up students that are Inactive. When in a specific entity users are also able to look up a student that has never been enrolled in that entity. This can cause issues for a district if the student keys in the wrong number.

  12. Medication Inventory Autoemail

    The problem with the Medication Inventory dose email is if you have an epipen that is only one dose. If we set up that autoemail that parent will receive an autoemail daily if we set it up that parents receive an email once the dose is down to 5. The expiration date autoemail works great for the epipen but not the other. Any suggestions?

  13. Medication Inventory in Quick Entry

    When in Quick Entry for Medication our health aides just check that the student received their medication for that day. The only problem is it doesn't show them on that screen what the current inventory is so they are able to keep reducing the inventory without realizing it is already at a negative. So ideally they should not be able to give a medication that is in negative inventory or it should be highlighted red. Unfortunately we are finding our medication inventory and the medication in the bottle are not matching.

  14. Medication Inventory Report

    We are having issues with medication inventory and the inventory being off. We know that we can see the current inventory and we can see how it is administered each day but we would like to run a report to see what Skyward showed the inventory was on a daily basis. Example: We had a student whose inventory was spot on on 12/15/16 but now today 1/9/17 it is off. We want to run a report back to 12/15/16 to today to see what Skyward showed the inventory was on a daily basis along with the administers.

  15. Add Near & Far vision screening fields to Letters

    Merge fields in the letter only have Corrected and Uncorrected Right and Left eyes and is pulling the Far vision results. For the state of PA we need to specify the Near vision and Far vision fields for each eye corrected and uncorrectd and label and report them all. Need the Near vision fields added to the letter.

    Expected outcome is to have merge fields for PA districts for both Near Corrected Right and Left eye and Near Uncorrected Right and Left eye as well as the existing Far Corrected Right and Left eye and Far Uncorrected Right and Left…

  16. Health letters

    Can the Vacc Letters be changed to "Health Letters" to automatically document any Hearing/Vision/Scoliosis/Vaccines/etc letter that is generated and sent home? It is important for these letters to be properly documented and recorded as being sent. Thank you

  17. Treatment Tab

    We would like to request a Treatments tab in the Health area. Our nurses would like it to have the same functions as the Medication tab so that treatments can be entered and scheduled and be able to be reported on. The example given was a student that has seizures. The nurse has a daily treatment with this student that cannot be scheduled.

  18. Auto Email Trigger/studen locator

    The student check in at the nurse needs to trigger the automated emails to the teachers on the student schedule. Teachers usually do not even have access to the student management piece of Skyward which then also makes us give them access to that module so they can see the student locator to see if a student is in the nurse's office. The systems needs to include the auto emails for the nurse module and the student locator needs to be programmed in to be included in Educator Access. Teachers should not have to have two separate windows open to…

  20. Medication inventory read quanity

    Want the inventory section of the medication profile to read quantity not milligrams as not all medications come in MG... We count per pill not by milligrams. or have a drop down for mL for liquid meds and pills for pill form medications.
    clarification: in the medical field when we do inventory counts we count the number of tablets not the number of milligrams or puffs (inhalers). So when you add a medication inventory we would like the option to pick capsules tablets puffs or milliliters. We don't want the inventory to count milligrams or what we put in the…
