Criteria for software evaluation: legal issues.
The maintenance of electronic health records in the school setting requires knowledge of the legal standards of both electronic records and health records. School nurses are responsible for the selection of software and hardware that meet federal and state legal standards. Software capabilities that enhance the legal value of the student health record are: overwrite protection, multi-user passwords, multi-level access, auditability, rejection, automatic back-up, and the ability to enter and process dates for the year 2000.
