Medical Review Process

Medical Review Process

The evaluation of a child’s known or unknown health or medical conditions and the determination of whether these conditions affect the ability to learn.

1. A WCISEC member district conducts a domain meeting to determine the need for a Medical Review and that they would like the WCISEC Certified School Nurse to complete this review.
   • The following questions can be asked to determine if more information is needed:
     • Where there complications during pregnancy/birth?
     • Has your child had frequent ear infections?
     • Has your child ever had an injury or accident that required medical attention?
     • Has your child required medical care from a doctor/nurse practitioner in the last 12 months?
     • Does your child take medication?  If so, what medication and what dose?
     • Is there anything in your child’s health history that we have not covered that you feel would interfere with his/her ability to learn?

2. The WCISEC member district submits the signed domain paperwork to Anita Fulkerson at Afulkerson@wcisec.org (opens email window).

3. The forms are processed and forwarded on to the WCISEC Certified School Nurse Andrea Ratermann.

4. The Certified School Nurse contacts the student’s parents/guardians and has them fill out and return the following information:

• • Authorization to Release/Obtain Information Form (for each doctor, including specialists)
  • Student Health History Form

5. The student may be observed by the Certified School Nurse.  The Certified School Nurse will review the student’s medical and education records.  The parent/guardian will be contacted for a short interview and follow up from the observation/record review.
