Saving a letter of an asthma diagnosis to SIMS
Many schools now benefit from networked photocopiers with extremely good scan functions. For others, workgroup scanners start from under £300. Equipped with a scanner simply scan the letter to your chosen pre-set network location. Return to your desk and open the letter as a PDF in EPPO . Click on Save To SIMS and save it to the student's record in SIMS, creating the medical condition of asthma as you go. Hey presto. Less paper, more secure information.
Notifying an LA of a exclusion
Rather than documentary evidence being collected in hard copy and redacted by hand, EPPO is used to easily collate scanned documents. The page drag and drop function is used to pull all relevant pages from various documents into one which can be redacted on screen. The final document is emailed to the LA from EPPO . During the process RecordLink 4pdf is used to open documents from SIMS and save the final submission to the student record, creating the exclusion in SIMS at the same time.
