Schools

Schools must be added in HealthOffice Anywhere before you go any further. The information created in schools is the foundation for many other configuration steps. For example, schools are needed for assigning schools to users, creating calendars, and enrollment for student records imported from a student information system (SIS) or migrated from older versions of HealthOffice.

Add schools

  • Hover over the Administration Menu, Districts, Regions and Schools, then click Schools.
    • To search for a created school, enter the search criteria and click Run.

Set up a track year

  • Hover over the Administration Menu, Districts, Regions and Schools, then click Tracks.
  • To search for a current track year, enter the search criteria and click Run.
  • To create a new track year, click New.
  • Complete all required (red) fields.
  • Click Save.

Extend school year dates

  • You use the Adjust Now checkbox to extend the dates of the school year.
  • This carries all scheduled encounters forward to the new end date.

Activate a Track Year

Once a Track Year is created, it needs to be activated to make the change within the database. This works with the import from the student information system.

  • Hover over the Administration Menu, System Settings, then select System Parameters.
  • Click Run to generate all System Parameters.
  • Select Administration -> Import -> Defaults.
  • Click on the track year drop field and select the track year you just created.
  • Click Save.
  • The new track year is active once the database is refreshed.

Schools Closing and Activity

School Closing and Activity is where the district adds all holidays, professional development days, inclement weather days, and any other time when scheduled items in HealthOffice Anywhere will not be documented. Dates may be added at any time during the school year.

The goal is to add in all dates for the school year that effect the students.

Add dates to the School Closing and Activity calendar

  • Hover over the Maintenance Menu, then click on School Closing and Activity.
  • Click Month to change the view of the calendar from a week view to a month view.
  • Adjust the month view by using the arrows on the upper left to move forward or backward.

    • Name: The name of the day off, for example, “Thanksgiving” or “President’s Day.”
    • Start/End Time and All Day: The date or dates off. Check All Day if the day off is the full school day.
    • Reminder: A pop-up reminder about the day(s) off.
    • School and Grade: The schools and grades associated with this day off.
    • Type: Identify the type of day off (emergency day, holiday, etc.).
    • Description: Optional
    • Recurrence: Select this option to open parameters to set this day(s) off to recur. An example of recurrence would be a professional development day that occurs on the first Tuesday of every month.
  • Check the appropriate boxes to indicate who will be in attendance. Leave all the checkboxes unchecked if no one will be in attendance.
  • Click Save on the bottom right. The date is added to the district calendar.
  • Repeat the process to add additional dates.

Roles

A role identifies what permission a group of users has in HealthOffice Anywhere.

Advanced User Account Settings

Assign People: This is an advanced feature used for those users who only work with specific students, not the school’s general population. When students are assigned, the user will only see these students and no others.


Event Review:This is an advanced feature used to review documentation saved by a user through a “send and review” process with the user’s supervisor or assigned reviewer.

Cache Reset

Many of the areas for product customization require a cache reset of your database to apply the changes. This request must come to Healthmaster Support at 1-800-732-7317 or Support@Healthmaster.com by a district leader. The cache reset process will log out any logged in user, so Healthmaster recommends that this is done at the end of the school day to minimize the impact on the users.

System Parameters

System Parameters is where your district can customize many features of HealthOffice at the database level. You can make these adjustments at any time. System Parameter functionality is always changing and expanding. The easiest way to see all the current options is to search the System Parameters screen without any filter criteria. You will see the options available to your district. An appendix to this guideline contains all the current system parameter options.

System Parameter Changes

Healthmaster does not recommend making System Parameter changes without full knowledge of the setting’s functionality. If you would like more information about a specific setting in System Parameters, contact Healthmaster’s implementation coordinator, or Healthmaster Support by phone 1-800-732-7317 or email Support@Healthmaster.com.

  • Repeat the above steps for any additional System Parameter changes.
  • For System Parameter changes to take effect, you must contact Healthmaster Support and ask for a cache reset. This request must come to Healthmaster Support at 1-800-732-7317 or Support@Healthmaster.com by a district leader. The cache reset process will log out any logged in user, so Healthmaster recommends that this is done at the end of the school day to minimize the impact on the users

Care Plan and Letter Template Configuration

Care Plan and Letter Templates are created by an administrative HealthOffice Anywhere user. Once created, they can be used by anyone with rights to create Care Plans and Letters.

There are two ways to create a new Care Plan or Letter Template. You can either bring in a template that already exists in a word processing program or create it from scratch within the editor. Once it is created, you can insert merge fields into the template (merge fields place student specific information into the identified location).

  • To drag and drop an existing document:
    • Open a file explorer window and find the template document.
    • Reduce the size of your HealthOffice Anywhere window so that you can see both the text editor in HealthOffice Anywhere and the file explorer window.
    • Select the document from the file explorer window (click and hold down the mouse button), drag it onto the template editor window in HealthOffice Anywhere, then drop it (release the button on your mouse).
  • The template appears in the workspace of the template editor.

Static/Text List Configuration

There are list field options on almost every screen within HealthOffice Anywhere. Many of the lists can be adjusted to fit your district’s needs.

There are two different types of lists:

  • Static Lists – Static list items can be deactivated, but new items cannot be added.
  • Text Lists – Text list items can be deactivated, and new list items may be added.

When you configure the Static and Text Lists for your district, focus on the lists that you use. For example, if your district does not bill with Healthmaster, skip the lists associated with billing. Healthmaster recommends you work with the discipline leaders during list configuration to ensure the documentation needs of your entire team are addressed.

There are several lists that are used in multiple locations, for example, Results/Outcomes, Actions, and Dispositions (RAD) are lists that appear in all encounter documentation. These lists should be configured to meet your district’s needs.

The Text and Static List (6007) report details every list field. It can be generated by list category and status of the list item.

Make a List Item Inactive / Active

  • Hover over the Administration Menu, Lists, then click Static/Text Drop-down Lists.

Assign List Items to User Roles

There may be times when multiple roles use the same list, and each role has different list items unique to their role in the district. For example, a Health Aid may not do the same treatments as a Registered Nurse, so the list items in that section can be assigned to the appropriate user role. A user will only see the list items assigned to their role.

  • Click the Security Role tab at the top of the List Items grid.
  • Click the Edit button (pencil icon) to the right of the list item to assign.
