But even there couldn't you just scan in the notarized documents?
And if not HIPAA what about FERPA?

While seemingly tangential this post today over at lifehacker talks
about to manage sensitive electronic records safely and securely while
traveling.

While the poster has done this for his personal records the message
seems to be that the electronic copies are a great backstop while
awaiting documents from official sources. And while it is unlikely your
school is bound by HIPAA rules the security recommendations are
excellent.
In my personal experience paper and electronic are interchangeable for
everything except prescriptions. Unless it is notarized, paper copies
cary no additional weight, but your milage may vary.... significantly.

Subject: Portable Student Health Records?
A perennial question at our school has to do with keeping current
student health and emergency records available to adults who accompany
students on field trips and oversees trips. We invariably end up
printing out mounds of paper that go in binders with the trip chaperons.
I am always a bit uneasy as to whether or not the data is up-to-date and
if it will be available when it's needed.
We have considered using electronic records stored on a USB drive,
handheld device, or computer but are leery of ER's and other emergency
providers accepting this information in the even that a student requires
emergency treatment.
Does anyone have a solution that is working well for them other than
paper?
