1 GUIDELINES: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED OF PERSONNEL CONDUCTING MEDICAL REVIEWS What qualifications are required under the State Board of Education s rules? Section of rules governing Special Education (23 Ill. Adm ; see sets forth the qualifications of personnel who may conduct medical reviews, as follows: Until June 30, 2013, School Service Personnel Certificate endorsed for school nursing (23 Ill. Adm. Code ), or a license to practice medicine in all of its branches, or under Section 60 or 65 of the Nurse Practice Act [225 ILCS 65]. Beginning July 1, 2013, a School Service Personnel Certificate endorsed for school nursing (23 Ill. Adm. Code ); or a license to practice medicine in all of its branches; or a bachelor s degree or higher and a license issued under Article 60 or Article 65 of the Nurse Practice Act [225 ILCS 65/Art. 60 or Art. 65], provided that only a person holding a School Service Personnel Certificate endorsed for school nursing shall make recommendations regarding educational interventions, accommodations or modifications based on the findings of the student s medical review. How do the rules affect personnel who are currently employed by a cooperative or school district and assigned to conduct medical reviews? Beginning July 1, 2013, the medical review required for a student who is being evaluated or re-evaluated for special education services shall be conducted by one of these three qualified personnel: 1) School nurse (hereinafter defined as any registered professional nurse who holds a school service personnel certificate with an endorsement in school nursing, or any noncertificated registered professional nurse who was employed in the school district of current employment before July 1, 1976); or, 2) Physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches (i.e., a medical doctor, an osteopathic doctor or a chiropractor who holds a license to practice medicine in all of its branches); or, 3) Registered Nurse with a bachelor s degree or higher, or Advanced Practice Nurse. Illinois State Board of Education - December 2012
2 In addition, the (1) school nurse (2) physician, or (3) RN (non-school nurse) with BA/BS or higher, may delegate portions of the medical review to other school staff, such as other nursing level staff, vision/hearing technicians, or assistants, as allowed by these other individual s education and training. As noted in the rules above, only a school nurse who holds a school service personnel certificate endorsed for school nursing (i.e., certified school nurse ) may make recommendations regarding educational interventions, accommodations or modifications to the student s individualized educational program (IEP) based on the findings of the medical review. Special education cooperatives and school districts that currently employ physicians licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches, registered nurses or advanced practice nurses to make these recommendations must use only certified school nurses for this purpose beginning July 1, 2013, although physicians licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches, registered nurses with a bachelor s degree or higher and advanced practice nurses may continue to conduct reviews relative to the student s medical and health status after that time. What exactly is a medical review? A medical review is not a single act but a process with a number of activities resulting in a complete review of the student s medical and health status that provides the answer to the question: Is a health condition adversely affecting a student s educational performance? Neither state nor federal law defines medical review. However, federal law requires that a student who is being evaluated or re-evaluated for special education services must be provided an assessment in all areas related to the suspected disability, including, if appropriate, health, vision, hearing. (U.S. Department of Education, 34 CFR , Evaluation procedures). The assessment must also be sufficiently comprehensive to identify all of the child's special education and related services needs, including related services such as school nursing services and school health services under 34 CFR (c)(13). This assessment has come to be commonly known as the medical review. How is a medical review conducted? A medical review begins with obtaining information in a process referred to by its acronym SOAP, or Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan. a. Subjective information is collected, such as the parent s concerns about the student s health, the student s own perception of his or her health, emotional feelings that are communicated, recollection of health history, teaching staff perceptions about how
3 student s health is affecting academic program requirements, other signs of health or illness that may or may not be able to be verified by lab tests or examination (such as pain, depression, etc.) b. Objective information is noted, such as information that is contained in the student s health records or can be obtained at school, including vital signs, hearing tests, vision tests, height/weight/bmi, heart and lung sounds, and other data collected in the past or present. Review of the student health record or potential health problems revealed by subjective information may lead to a need for additional records, possibly requiring a release from a parent for physician or hospital records. c. Assessment is first made of the quality of the data and a determination is made about whether more information or study is needed. That assessment is made by school nurse, advanced practice nurse, registered nurse with a bachelor s degree or higher, or a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches. Assessment is then made by the individual conducting the medical review (school nurse, advanced practice nurse, registered nurse with a bachelor s degree or higher, or a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches), about what, if any, appropriate nursing services are required to maintain the student during the school day, and reported to the certified school nurse. Assessment concludes when the certified school nurse, and only the certified school nurse, reviews the findings of the medical review and reports his or her educationally relevant medical findings to the IEP team (and others in attendance). This report should summarize the findings, including information about the educational significance of the student s medical status. This report takes the medical review to its conclusion, as required by IDEA, in the form of a statement or summary of the educationally relevant medical findings, if any. (34 CFR , Specific documentation for the eligibility determination). To arrive at findings, the certified school nurse is exercising instructional judgment or conducting an educational evaluation (105 ILCS 5/ ) when he or she makes any recommendations regarding educational interventions, accommodations or modifications (23 IAC ). In accordance with Section of the School Code, only a certified school nurse may conduct duties that require exercise of instructional judgment or education evaluation of pupils (105 ILCS 5/ ). d. Plan a) if there are no educationally relevant medical findings, a student may nonetheless have some medical issues that need to be addressed by the school. A plan that covers only the medical recommendations regarding nursing interventions needed at school may be developed by the school nurse, advanced practice nurse, registered nurse with bachelor s degree or higher, or physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches. b) If there are educationally relevant medical findings, a plan that provides for educational accommodations, educational modifications, annual goals, short-term objectives, and ongoing
4 evaluation related to the educationally relevant medical findings is developed by the certified school nurse (in collaboration with other members of the IEP team if relevant). The school nurse also makes recommendations regarding educational interventions related to the health condition(s) that are adversely impacting the student s educational performance. (Other personnel who are qualified to conduct the medical review may participate in the planning process, but they are not qualified to determine the specific educational-related provisions that may be needed in the student s IEP, including identification of student goals that may result from the provision of nursing interventions.) What is the role of the certified school nurse in the IEP goal-planning process for a student with educationally relevant medical findings? The certified school nurse: o assists with IEP development; o integrates any needed school nursing services, as defined in 34 CFR (c)(13), into the student s academic and/or functional goals; o makes recommendations regarding educational interventions, accommodations or modifications to instruction or in the learning environment; o provides or delegates (in accordance with provisions in the Illinois Nurse Practice Act) nursing interventions, which are the activities the nurse provides for the student (or patient) and may be direct interventions (direct nursing care, such as medications, tube feedings, dressing changes, skin care, respiratory care, etc., as well as teaching the client or other providers about the student s care, and indirect interventions, including case management activities, development of health component of the IEP, and in-service classes for staff and faculty); o make recommendations regarding student health-related goals, including frequency of evaluating student s progress; o make recommendations regarding specific school health services and school nursing services, 34 CFR (c)(13), to be documented in the IEP; and o writes progress reports relative to the established goals and evaluates the effectiveness of the interventions.
5 What can be done about shortages of certified school nurses available to conduct educationally evaluative provisions of the medical review? ISBE is working with a number of partners to identify quicker paths to school nurse certification. ISBE is working to identify retired or otherwise non-working certified school nurses who may be able to return to work at least part time. For a registered nurse who does not hold a bachelor s degree, avenues for accelerated bachelor degree programs in nursing are available at many of the state s colleges and universities. Small school districts may wish to enter into multi-district contracts for employment of one or more certified school nurses to carry out educational evaluations and medical reviews. Certified school nurses may delegate portions of the tasks in a medical review to other school staff, as allowed. School districts may wish to reorganize the school health services staff to best utilize existing personnel.
