Student Health Administration Hub

Important

Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.

The Student Health Administration Hub allows users in certain roles (e.g., the Student Health Administrator role) and with the necessary permissions to track important health information such as compliance with required immunizations, existing health conditions and allergies, and medications, with full control over who has access to this protected information.

Users with the necessary permissions can also add and edit student insurance information and set up notifications to alert students when their insurance coverage is about to expire.

To get started with the health administration process, you'll need to:

  1. Create a health code for the requirement or condition you want to track.

  2. Create a new health group that enables you to identify students with common health-related requirements.

  3. Add students to the health group roster who must meet this requirement or who need this condition tracked. You can also add them later from the health group summary page for that group, as long as it is still before the start date you set for the group.

  4. After you set up the health groups, update each student's health information using the Manage required health codes option.

Notice

In the following example, Dolores is responsible for ensuring that all incoming freshmen have submitted proof of up-to-date immunizations and a recent physical. Here are the steps she will follow:

  1. First, Dolores makes sure that there are health codes for the necessary immunizations and exams. (Student Health Administration hub > Hub options > Health group options > Manage Health Codes)

  2. Next, she creates a health group that includes all of the incoming freshmen and assigns the required health codes to this group. (Student Health Administration hub > Hub options > Health group options > Create health groups)

  3. If a number of students are missing documentation, she can send them a reminder email. (Health group roster > [select students] > Options menu > Send communication)

The Overview block provides an at-a-glance status update of health groups. It also includes links to FERPA and HIPAA information and contact information for the FERPA and HIPAA specialists.

FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of a student's education records while ensuring that the records are accessible for the student and family. FERPA also outlines the situations where the school can share student information.

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is federal legislation that includes, among other things, provisions for safeguarding medical information. HIPAA policies are designed to ensure that sensitive health information is protected, while allowing the information to be used through proper channels. It requires institutions that handle sensitive health information to take proper measures to protect that information. It also gives patients the right to access their own medical records. For more information on HIPAA privacy rules, visit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services web page. For information on your institution's policy, visit the links on the Residence Life Hub.

Custom queries must start with the default "q_" filename and must be stored in the Jenzabar Reports directory. This directory is set up as a part of the upgrade\installation process that defaults to C:\Jenzabar\Reports\. Contact your campus support team for more information on customizing default queries or creating queries.

        Note

        You cannot access InfoMaker directly from J1 Web to edit your queries. See the InfoMaker Resource Center on MyJenzabar.net, or contact your campus support team to learn more about customizing queries.

Important

In order to view or manage student health information, you must belong to a role with the "Can manage health group roster" permissions turned on. Jenzabar provides this permission with the Student Health Administrator default role, but your school may have created a customized version of this role.

The fastest way to manage most health information tasks is from the Student Health Profile page. From this page, you can manage the student's emergency contact and health insurance information, and view and manage required health codes.

Some tasks, however, must be performed on the Student Health Administration hub, such as creating new health codes and adding students to a health group.

To access a student's Health Profile page, click the student's name anywhere it appears as a link in J1 Web. From the student's summary page, click the Person options drop-down menu and select Student > Student > Student Health Profile.
