  2. IHPs (Individualized Health Plans) • The planning phase must include the parent, student, teachers/other school personnel, school nurse, and health care provider. • Must rely heavily on info provided through the DMMP (Diabetes Medical Management Plan). • Must address all phases of the school day, including bus transportation, field trips, specials classes ( PE, music, art, etc.), any classroom and education accommodations, and extra curricular activities. KBN 2014

  3. IHPs PLAN OF ACTION MUST BE SPECIFICALLY SPELLED OUT FOR : • HYPOGLYCEMIA ( LOWS) • HYPERGLYCEMIA (HIGHS) • Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) INSTRUCTIONS FOR SYMPTOMS & TREATMENT KBN 2014

  4. IHPs An IHP can also include ACTION PLANS FOR: • LOCK DOWN SITUATIONS • SEVERE WEATHER EMERGENCIES • SCHOOL BUILDING EVACUATIONS KBN 2014

  5. Lock Downs • In a Lock Down – the student will be confined to the classroom, or the building. • Actions to plan for during a Lock Down: How will the student access food? How will the student access the glucometer? How will the student access the insulin? KBN 2014

  6. Lock Downs • If the student is confined to a classroom – is the school employee in that classroom trained on how to handle the needs of the student with diabetes? • How long might the Lock Down continue? • Do you as the designated health care individual in that building have a means of communication with the classroom where the student is confined? • Are there extra supplies in the student’s kit, backpack, or classroom? KBN 2014

  7. WEATHER EMERGENCIES The same questions will arise for weather emergencies • How will the student access the needed supplies, medication, and food during a weather emergency? • The age of the student must be considered in planning for weather emergencies. • Does the student carry a diabetes care kit, or back pack? KBN 2014

  8. IHPs • Develop emergency plan and communicate to school staff, parent, and health care provider. • Collaborate on any needed changes to the IHP throughout the school year. • The IHP is effective only for the current school year. • A new IHP, specific to the student must be developed each year. KBN 2014

  9. IHPs • A copy of the IHP is available to school staff on a “need to know” basis. • Confidentiality of the health information is to be maintained at all times. • Provide the necessary training for all school staff regarding the DMMP and IHP plan for care. • Obtain release of medical information permission form. KBN 2014
