School nurses and health office employees are the creators and caretakers of legal documentation. School nurses have an ethical and legal obligation to protect the integrity of electronic student health records. Although there are many threats to data integrity, from inadequate hardware to electrical surges, one of the most pervasive threats to data is computer viruses. There are many precautions that can be taken to protect electronic student health data from viruses in the school health office.

Key Words: elementary schools • health records • information systems • school nursing • secondary schools • security • student records
