From a drawer of slips to health you can act on
Representative scenario — illustrativeAn 1,800-student school logs infirmary visits on carbon-copy slips, keeps immunisation cards in admission files, and holds allergy information mostly in one nurse’s memory.
When a child is sent home the parent call is remembered, not recorded. No one can produce which classes are behind on the vision or dental screening round. And the peanut allergy is known only to whoever is on duty — a real risk on trip day and at the canteen counter.
The cheap ERP added a free-text “medical” box to the student record and called it health. No visit log, no screening coverage, and allergy flags never reach the canteen or the trip incharge who need them. Six months in, the nurse keeps the paper slips anyway because the box cannot tell her who is due for a follow-up, and screening rounds go untracked again.
ez.school makes health a loop, not a box. Every visit records complaint, action and outcome with the parent contacted on record; screening and immunisation rounds track completion and follow-ups due; and allergy and condition flags surface at the canteen, the trip and the field — under deliberately narrow access.
| By hand | Ordinary ERP | ez.school | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infirmary visit | Carbon-copy slip in a drawer | A free-text medical box | Complaint, action, outcome logged |
| Screening coverage | Untracked, done if time allows | Not covered | Completion and due-lists per round |
| Allergy flags | In one nurse’s memory | Buried in a text field | Surfaced at canteen, trips, sports |
| Telling parents | A call, remembered not recorded | No prompt to notify | Send-home notifies, on the record |

92% screened this cycle; the 46 BMI flags are routed to counsellors — closing the loop, not just measuring.
Screening and immunisation coverage by round — the classes still short of completion are the follow-up list, visible instead of assumed.
