Individualized Health Plan-IHP

Individualized Health Plan-IHP

• In the event that your child does suffer from life threatening allergies that requires an Epinephrine auto injector as a treatment, an IHP or individual health plan will be created for your child.
• An IHP is an individual health plan that is initiated and developed by you and the school nurse when a child’s health care needs are more complex. This plan contains an emergency plan for the management and treatment of an allergic reaction should one occur while the child is at school.
• Your child’s IHP will be shared with their teachers, cafeteria, transportation and administration with team effort and collaboration to ensure your child’s safety at school.
• Your child’s IHP will be updated each school year and as necessary.

In order for an IHP to be created for your child it is the parent's responsibility to provide the following forms to the school nurse:

• Medication authorization form for each prescribed medication.
• The delivery of all medications ordered for your child brought to the school by an adult.
• Please return or e-mail completed forms to the school nurse

• If your child will be out of school for an extended period of time (for 14 days or more) due to a non-communicable illness or recovering from an injury, please have your healthcare provider fill out the Medical Home Instruction Form. Please make sure the form is fully completed and is signed and stamped by the healthcare provider. The form will be reviewed by the school physician and is subject to approval.
• Please return or e-mail completed form to the school nurse.
