The District Nurse is responsible for implementation of protocols and training of designated staff. Protocols can only be implemented when:
Individual Care Plans (ICP's) may be implemented outside of a protocol, when special care, intervention or surveillance is needed for a student's condition but a clinical procedure or an emergency procedure are not warranted. This is different from an Individual Health Protocol in that is does not have associated procedures and the plan does not deviate from standard first aid. This may include uncomplicated seizure disorders, muscular dystrophy, or shunt dependent hydrocephalus, for example. The purpose of the care plan is to alert staff who work with chronically ill students to their condition and provide resources and education in regards to standard procedures or standard first aid. Please note that it is the parents responsibility to report health conditions and appropriately follow up with medical documentation or releases in order to provide individual protocols or plans. Please contact the district RN if your child has a chronic health condition.
