Single Plan of Care (SPOC) Access for School Nurses
School nurses can obtain yearly access to CHOC’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR): Cerner. With parental consent, school nurses can access a special view within Cerner that allows them to see an abridged version of the student’s medical information. An available landing page through EMR access, the Single Plan of Care summarizes all important information for school nurses to better care for their students, including:
- Lines, drains and tubes.
- Provider’s last note.
- Upcoming appointments.
- Vaccines.
- Other care coordination pieces.
Access to Cerner is proxied at the district level so that nurses covering multiple schools can easily access their students’ health records. Nurse access is renewed annually from the date it is granted, whereas student/parent authorizations are updated each school year.
