School Order Completion Process
Questions:
How do you complete school orders for pediatric patients in your practice? Is this done at a visit or part of a telephone encounter?
How do you use your EHR to support this process?

It is either done at visit or when families send them to us between visits.
We do not use EHR but have separate site to keep templates and store final copies.
Hi Whitney,
We have developed a diabetes school management packet that CDCES completes in our EMR (i.e. Epic). It has drop down options for various treatment regimens (e.g., fixed dose, intensive insulin management, insulin pump). This can be done at in-person visits, telemedicine encounters, or upon caregiver request via phone. The Diabetes School Management Packet is a Letter format sent via MyChart to the family or can be printed off in clinic. We would be happy to share our template.
Warm regards,
Dan DeSalvo (Texas Children’s)
We send an updated school care plan home with the patient at discharge from clinic appointments. We don’t necessarily send it with every visit, if no changes to insulin regimen have been made. Families are able to request a SCP and we can send to the patient on the patient portal (Cerner) in between visits. Hope this helps!
