Signing staff_students out of the medical centre

When the student or staff member leaves the medical centre you should sign them out using the Medical Maintenance window. This records:

• the time that the person left the medical centre
• any changes you have made to the medical incident
• the destination of the person (class or outside of your organisation) upon leaving the medical centre
• an absence event for the time that the person was in the medical centre.

To sign a person out:

1. Select the student who is leaving the sick bay in the selector panel.
   
2. Click .
   The Discharge Confirmation window is displayed.
   
3. Select either:
   • Released Internally if the student is returning to classes.
   An absence event is created for the student for their time in the medical centre.
   • Released Externally if the student is leaving the premises.
   An absence event is created for the student for the rest of the day.
   The Create Absence Event window is displayed. See Absence Events Maintenance window in the Attendance and absence events manual.
   
   Note: The absence events created for internal and external releases are determined by the ReleaseInternally:AbsenceEventType and ReleaseExternally:AbsenceEventType configuration settings. See ReleaseInternally:AbsenceEventType configuration setting and ReleaseExternally:AbsenceEventType configuration setting in the System maintenance manual.
