Abstract
IHPs represent an underutilized "voice" of school nursing. Modern data methods and health information technology tools provide many examples and avenues for school nursing to contribute to documentation and interpretation of evidence to support the statement that "every child needs a school nurse". Using reliable and valid data measures that are relevant not only to school nursing practice but also to the greater U.S. health care and educational systems, school nurses have a compelling message to tell about the state of children today and challenges children face in arriving at future success. Equally compelling, we have at our fingertips in our IHPs the substance of evidence of the work we do and the contributions we make in helping every child succeed and be well. Failing to step forward to tell this story ourselves only means that someone else might tell it for us.
