It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that all registered professional school nurses (hereinafter referred to as school nurses) should have access to a software platform for student electronic health records (EHRs) that includes nursing language/medical terminology and complies with standards of confidentiality, security and privacy. Interoperability of records with other members of the healthcare and school-based teams facilitates optimal student/population health and academic outcomes. While educational/student data management systems may offer health data modules, these systems do not provide opportunity for documentation with nursing language or medical terminology, do not have capacity for interoperability with the student's community-based health records, and may not have the appropriate Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Family Rights Educational Privacy Act (FERPA) standards of confidentiality.
