How can this software increase my productivity?
SNAP Health Center allows you to organize, process and analyze your
student health information in ways that are not possible using paper
records. For example, the Report feature allows you to quickly summarize
student information, identify health trends and compile information for
district and state reports. The form letter feature generates
professional communications from the health office and saves a copy in
the student’s health record. The Immunization module calculates student
compliance to meet your specific state requirements. These are just few
examples of how SNAP can help you stream-line your health clinic!
Is this software HIPPA and FERPA compliant?
SNAP Health Center meets and exceeds all HIPAA and FERPA requirements.
HIPPA compliance is achieved by automatically auditing all edits to
student medical data thus preventing any unauthorized changes. Also,
access to the program is limited by requiring each user to sign in with
a unique user name and password. User accounts are maintained by the
system administrator and can be assigned a variety of security levels
allowing or denying access to each of the 26 functional areas of the
program. FERPA compliance is met by automatically tracking all access
and edits to student health records.
Is a drug reference library included with my
software package?
SNAP Health Center version 4.0.0 and higher has integrated the Mosby™
drug database into the SNAP Medication Log to provide you, with a click

effect information available.

tool, you will be able to create and store
customized, printable IHPs in student health records.

a feature no other school health software package
currently
offers.
This module may
be purchased as an optional program add-on to SNAP Health Center.

your district or state’s report requirements. Call our sales department

How much disk space is required per student?
SNAP Health Center requires an average of 50KB per student. PSNI has
designed a database that has very little redundant stored data- data is
stored once but accessed where it is needed.
Can all of the schools in our district be
networked together?
Yes. Our SNAP Health Center networked version uses a single database to
house data for multiple schools and allows for multiple simultaneous
users.
Is this software SIF complaint?
In
June 2006,
SNAP Health Center (version 4.1.0) passed SIF certification testing
for
Version 1.5r1 of the SIF Standard and is now available. All purchases
after 1/1/07 include the SIF Agent. Our SIF Agent may also be purchased
as an optional program add-on to SNAP Health Center.
What type of backup system is there?
SNAP Health Center has two ways to backup and secure your data. First,
there is a backup system that generates an automatic backup of the
current year’s data as users exit the program at the end of the day. In
client/server systems this backup is sent to the server for tape backup
at night and in standalone systems it is sent to the computer's hard
drive. Second, since data files can be damaged by computer viruses and
hardware failures, we provide a means to manually backup your data
files. To ensure this data is kept safe, we recommend that you back up
your data files to a tape or CD at least once a week and store them
off-site.
Is a data import utility included with the
purchase of this software?
Yes. Included with the purchase of SNAP Health Center,
is a separate import program called Express. Express
allows student data stored in the administrative software
program to be imported into SNAP. This is a manual update-
not an automatic one. Express can be used to create new SNAP
records or update existing ones. Over 100 data fields including
student’s name, address, phone number, date of birth, grade, teacher,
gender, immunizations, alerts, emergency contacts, etc are accepted.
The import file must be a standard ASCII delimited file.
The delimiter can be either comma or tab. This is a standard
CSV output format from programs such as Microsoft EXCEL.
Is an automatic data import utility included with the purchase of SNAP Health Center?
Yes. When you purchase SNAP Health Center you also receive licensing for either SNAP Live or our SIF Agent.
SNAP Live will connect SNAP to any ODBC compliant database to automatically update specified fields once a day.
SNAP’s SIF agent will integrate with any existing SIF zone server and is compliant with the 1.5r1 messaging system
PSNI has also partnered with several administrative school software companies to create an Active Link with SNAP
Health Center. This link connects the two programs and automatically imports new student data into SNAP at regular,
timed intervals. Call to speak with a PSNI sales representative to find if we provide an active link that is compatible
with your administrative software system.
Do you offer a web-based version of SNAP Health Center?
We currently offer a web-enabled version (not a web-based version) of the software using a second piece of software called IDS-Links.
With the web enabled version you can access SNAP Health Center from any computer with a web browser, including Mac.
Is SNAP Health Center compatible with SQL Server 2008 Enterprise?
The version of SQL Server that we ship as part of our installer is MSDE 2000 SP 4;
however, our database can reside on a SQL 2005 or SQL 2008 server.
