FAQs

Why should the school opt for detailed health check-up of students? Health is something for parents to look after!

Considering the amount of time children spend in school nowadays, it is vital for schools also to partner with parents in the healthcare of children.
Some other good reasons for conducting regular health check-ups of children:

	Good health has direct impact on academics and attendance. E.g. Vision and hearing directly impact the child’s ability to understand and keep pace with academic work in the class. Sadly, these problems are on the rise today due to increased time spent in front of gadgets and with earphones
	Wellness initiatives are important to ensure that children remain healthy and perform well in curricular as well as extra-curricular activities
	It is mandatory for schools to maintain health data of children and storage of electronic health data empowers the school to view any child’s ‘Key Medical Information’ in seconds in case of medical emergency during school hours
	Electronic health data of children also helps the school to study overall health trend of children and take necessary remedial action. E.g. modify the type of food available in case of increasing obesity, inclusion of gymnastics/yoga, etc.
	Furthermore, preventive health check-ups draw attention of parents to likely health problems in their children.

We conduct health check-ups of our students every alternate year using the services of parents who are doctors. This does not cost the school/parents and is sufficient. Why should we opt for School Health Check-up program of CMPL?

It’s always a better option to get a preventive checkup done by a team of experts rather than choose a single doctor or a parent who might be unable to do justice to comprehensive check-up of all students. There are more reasons too:

School health checkup program of CMPL includes a detailed checkup of every child by 5 different experts:

	Physical Examination by medical doctor
	Dental Examination by Dentist
	Audiometry test to check hearing
	Optometry test to check vision
	Spirometry test to check lung function

Our program follows the WHO recommendations of annual preventive checkup for growing children to draw attention to possible health problems early on

Furthermore, our program ensures unbiased opinion from experts with no other interest in referral

A detailed report card with action areas for parents is provided to each student

Electronic Personal Health Record (PHR) account is created for each student and data is entered in the account to help parents take charge of children’s health

In spite of this, if a school wants to opt only for PHR account and wants to continue with the check-up using other doctors/parents, that option is also available.

What are the advantages of storing students’ health data electronically on Med Docket – for the school as well as for parents?

Will parents see the value of School Health Check-up program or is it too expensive?

Considering the benefits offered by the program to their children, parents should not find it expensive.

	It helps them take timely action – a stitch in time saves nine!
	A detailed preventive health check-up with different experts, all under one roof, saves them from running around from doctor to doctor. In fact, each consultation is expensive if done individually.
