• Having in mind that students are missing valuable class time while they are at the Health Zone, HZU team will try to limit their visit to a maximum of 20 minutes at a time, if symptoms subside return student to class

• If student is returning to his/her class, HZU Team will complete the Health Zone Pass and the student will hand it back to the teacher as shown in Form 1

Staff

In the given case that a staff member wakes up feeling unwell, the HZU team discourage the collaborator to come to school sick and advises him/her to go to his/her first care provider.

• If the patient needs further assistance, the HZU team will guide him/her through the process according to their health care coverage plan.

All work related accidents that occur while on school property must be reported HR. No matter how insignificant the incident/ accident may appear to the collaborator, an on the job accident report should be filled out according to Colombian Law, as a work-related incident.

At the time the school nurse telephonically reports the accident to the ARL/Insurance Company, it is up to the injured staff member to decide if he/she will attend the ER room If the patient chooses to go to the ER, ARL/Insurance Company, HZU team will give the collaborator a list of hospitals/clinics for the patient to select where he/she desires to go to
