School nurses have worked tirelessly during the COVID-19 pandemic. At times, the workload has been unsustainable and there were not enough hours in the day for school nurses to complete their duties. In one school district, the high school nurse and instructional technology specialist collaborated on improving the process of collecting COVID-19 information. This resulted in dramatically reducing the amount of time it took to process information and improved the way the data were collected and shared. This article describes the steps in pandemic-related data collection and communication used before and after implementation of the improved tools and processes. The authors also provide forms, email templates, and the resulting district COVID-19 metric figures helpful to school nurses desiring to replicate the process.
学校护士在 COVID-19 大流行期间不懈努力。有时,工作量难以承受,学校护士每天的工作时间都不足以完成他们的职责。在一个学区,高中护士和教学技术专家合作改进了收集 COVID-19 信息的流程。这大大减少了处理信息所需的时间,并改进了数据的收集和共享方式。本文描述了在实施改进的工具和流程之前和之后用于收集和交流与大流行相关的数据的步骤。作者还提供了表单、电子邮件模板以及有助于希望复制该流程的学校护士的学区 COVID-19 指标数据。
