For schools & districts

Concussion compliance that fits in a single afternoon.

State concussion laws require you to document baselines, incidents, and return-to-play decisions for every student-athlete. HQ Baseline turns that from a year-long grind into a checkbox.

For administrators

Everything your AD, board, and counsel care about.

Every US state has a concussion law. Most of them require some form of baseline protocol, education, and return-to-play paperwork. Enforcement is uneven today — but it won’t stay that way. The districts that get ahead of this aren’t doing it because of a fine. They’re doing it because when a parent calls and asks what you did to protect their kid, “we have a baseline, here it is, here is the comparison, here is the clinician who cleared them” is the only answer that ends the conversation.

Why athletic trainers will thank you

Talk to any athletic trainer in your district. Ask how they feel about baseline week. Then tell them you’re looking at a platform that turns it into a single afternoon with objective scores and a dashboard that sorts itself. That is the most popular meeting you will run this year.

Procurement and rollout

We work with district purchasing, state association contracts, and GPO arrangements. Pilots are typically free for a single school before a district-wide rollout — so you can see it work before committing. Most districts go from signed contract to first baselines inside two weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Does HQ Baseline meet our state's concussion law?
State laws vary, but nearly all require documented baselines, education, and return-to-play clearance. HQ Baseline provides the documentation layer for all of those. We're happy to walk through your specific state statute on a demo call.
Is this FERPA compliant?
Yes. HQ Baseline treats student-athlete data as educational records when the platform is deployed by a school, and we sign a BAA as a HIPAA business associate when deployed by a clinic. Role-based access and audit logs keep parent and third-party access controlled.
How do we pay? POs? Credit card?
Both. We support purchase orders, invoices, district billing cycles, and state association contract pricing. We also accept credit card for smaller programs.
Can we integrate with our SIS or rostering tool?
Yes. We integrate with Clever, ClassLink, and PowerSchool for rostering, and support SAML SSO with Google, Microsoft, and Okta.
How do you handle middle school vs. high school athletes?
Age-aware protocols select the correct battery automatically. Athletes 5–12 take an age-appropriate version tuned for younger cognition, while 13+ take the standard adolescent battery.
