Cost Documentation of School Nursing Follow-up Services
: The cost of nursing services was documented as part of a grant to study the effect of school nursing follow-up on the outcome of dental screening. Eleven nurses participated in the study with experimental (n = 287) groups of fifth and sixth grade students from a large West Coast school district who were screened for caries. Stratifiers for the randomized group assignment were school, cavity severity, gender, ethnicity, and insurance coverage. A positive difference occurred for the 11 nurses (p = 0.0046). The cost of telephone follow-up averaged $8.92 for 26.69 minutes and compared favorably with a California state allowance of $11 for a half-hour of similar service. The study offers a beginning analytical formulation for examining field services in school and community health nursing using a naturalistic experimental design.
Proceeding from the necessity of strengthening the informatinization building of the Party school's learner status archives, this paper analyzes the major problems that exist in the management of the current Party school's learner status archives and puts forwards some ways to push ahead the informationization building.
