Medical Release forms on file

Carolyn Walker posted 5 Years Ago

Question from our student ministry: Is there a way to internally manage medical release forms in Rock and allow the date their medical release form expires on each students’ profile. It would be a lot of internal entering in data in the beginning but it would be maintenance after that. To allow parents to look up the date their students’ medical release forms expire would be a huge help to them, if it could somehow be connected to their profile.

Has anyone done this? We require an updated form every 2 years.

If I'm understanding the question, I think this could be a simple Person Attribute of type date. You would just store the date of the Medical Release and then use that as a point of calculating when they expire (or, you could just store the expire date.. whatever makes more sense). If you're needing to store the form itself, you could create another person attribute to hold a PDF that gets uploaded, or similar. Another "way out" option would be to have the entire form be electronic (composed of multiple attributes, one of them being the date) which can be digitally "signed" by a parent or guardian, but that part won't be practical until Rock v9 with it's native document signature functionality.

I agree with Jim. We have a Attribute Values block on the Extended Attributes profile page which shows the Medical Release attribute category. That would be a great start to what you are trying to accomplish, I believe.
