Medical Record. Complete guide

Record each child's vaccinations, medical history, health records, allergies and medication, and track their height and weight.

Written by Marcel Bragari

The medical record brings together everything about each child's health: vaccinations, past illnesses, medical records with attached documents, allergies, medication and the doctor's details. It is visible only to staff who have access to it.

The medical record is filled in from the child's profile, in the Families Management module.
