Individual Health Plan

A student's individual education plan may also include an individual health plan. The development of the Individual Health Plan (IHP) is a collaborative process among the child's family, the child (when appropriate), the school nurse, the school physician (when appropriate), other school staff, community health providers, and medical specialists, where indicated.

An individual health plan is designed to ensure that the child receives the health services he or she needs during the school day (such as treatments, health assessments, or administration of medication). Like the IEP, this plan should be developed in a way that is supportive of his or her participation in the ongoing activities of classmates, such as sports and field trips. The plan should provide for the performance of health care procedures in a manner that minimizes disruption of the educational process to the individual student and other students present.

The Individual Health Plan, prepared by the school nurse, includes:

• Health data.
• Nursing diagnosis.
• Planning.
• Intervention/implementation.
• Evaluation
