I think there are still some tweaks that would make it quicker and more efficient. Being able to send parents approval for short term medication more quickly and easy would help (long term plans are great) - it would also help that the notifications could be text to parents rather than emails as occasionally parents don't look straight away (we don't have the softwear to enable text messages) it would also help to be able to add multiple medications - for examples children that have paracetamol and ibuprofen - rather than inputting twice - to be able to add these medications at once.
Chloe Brooks found Medical Tracker:
- Significantly improves school processes“We replaced our paper medication records by switching to medical tracker.”
- Moderately improves parent engagement“They can review and see the medication being given to the children - with accurate timings and date stamps.”
- Does not significantly reduce teacher workload“Doesn't really affect teachers within our school”
- Does not significantly improve teacher wellbeing“No real impact on the teachers. It helps the pastoral team in attempting to keep children in school for longer!”
- Does not save school money“No impact on financial issues.”
