Spreadsheets, paper consent cards and phone calls to parents — that was immunization tracking in one school district, at a time when coverage hit a decade low. ELWIS replaced it with one secure, no-code record of student health.
The problem
The district's process was fragmented and labor-intensive: records spread across spreadsheets, paper cards and disconnected systems, parents contacted manually, consent forms hard to track, duplicates common when students transferred. Reporting to health agencies was slow — and sensitive health data difficult to secure consistently. Compliance adds pressure: the platform must align with FERPA and HIPAA controls.
01
Which students are missing immunizations?
02
Which consents are still pending?
03
How long does agency reporting really take?
04
Is everything ready for the next clinic day?
Most importantly, the solution needed to reflect how school nurses and coordinators actually work.

Key features
The capabilities that replaced paper files, phone calls and manual compliance tracking.
STUDENTS
A searchable student list across schools — filter by class, compliance status or gender, with a compliance indicator for every student. Each profile shows vaccinations, consents and health notes, and flags overdue doses automatically.
CONSENT
Consent status for every student — given, refused or pending — with a digital copy or reference number attached. Missing consents are flagged right on the student profile.
CLINICS
Scheduled clinics hold the school, date, assigned staff and planned vaccines, auto-generate rosters of eligible students — and record attendance and outcomes after the event.
DASHBOARD
Upon login, a dashboard summarises the metrics that matter — progress of every vaccination scenario, missing immunizations, pending consents and upcoming clinics.
CONSULTATIONS
Every appointment in one place: the student, notes and the full consultation report. Pre-built fields speed up data entry and cut human error — and every change is tracked.
REPORTING
Detailed exports for health departments and school-wide coverage rates, formatted for state immunization registries. Every create and update is logged with timestamp and user ID.
COMMUNICATION
Branded, multilingual email reminders about clinics and missing routine vaccines — plus targeted bulk SMS for pending consents before every event.
MOBILE
On clinic day the nurse records each vaccination with a tap on a tablet. Forms come pre-filled — and the system works offline when the connection doesn't.
The solution
Every build starts the same way: map how the team actually works, then model it in ELWIS — custom development blended with a powerful no-code layer.
Page Builder
Compose screens and workflows visually — with role-based views for nurses, coordinators and admins.
Configurable Type System
Artifact types, link types and attributes model students, vaccinations, consents, clinics and staff roles.
Client-owned governance
The client creates and edits artifacts, artifact types and attributes directly — without relying on developers.
Before / After
A manual, paper-heavy process turned into a streamlined digital workflow.

After
Student Health Records
Vaccination records were scattered across paper files, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems.
All student health records are securely managed in one centralized platform.
Consent & Parent Communication
Consent forms and parent reminders were tracked manually through emails, letters, and phone calls.
Digital consent management and automated email/SMS reminders streamline communication.
Vaccination Compliance
Staff had limited visibility into missing immunizations and district-wide compliance.
Real-time dashboards provide instant visibility into compliance, pending consents, and overdue vaccinations.
Reporting & Clinic Management
Clinic preparation and compliance reporting required manual data collection and administrative effort.
Vaccination clinics, reporting, and audit trails are managed automatically from a single application.
How it works
The application guides staff through every stage of the immunization process.
1
Schedule a clinic
Identify eligible students for the event.
2
Send consent requests
Automated reminders to parents.
3
Review consents
Pending approvals checked before the event.
4
Record on tablets
Vaccinations logged during clinic day.
5
Update records
Student records update automatically.
6
Generate reports
Follow-up lists and compliance exports.
The School Healthcare and Vaccination App was delivered in phases, starting with centralized student records and compliance tracking, followed by digital consent management, automated communication, clinic management, and reporting capabilities. The solution was gradually introduced across schools, enabling staff to transition from manual processes to a secure digital healthcare workflow.

What impressed us most was how quickly we were able to move from paper-based processes to a fully digital workflow. The system is intuitive for healthcare staff and gives management the visibility we were missing before.
