This health assessment record was created in 2001 and revised in 2004 in an effort to establish a single template for collecting health data and communicating health standards and health status for children before they start school. The record includes two parts, one to be completed by parents and one to be completed by a health professional. The record provides a consistent format for primary care health professionals and program administrators who must complete the form and gather data on children's health and a consistent set of expectations for early child care professionals.
