As the trends towards specialty EMR software continues, pediatricians are among the list of doctors who are likely to benefit the most from implementing a pediatric-specific EMR. Along with high-quality care, pediatricians can reap the following benefits:<\/p>\n

1. Electronically record and transmit patient immunization records<\/b><\/p>\n

The ability to electronically record and transmit multiple immunizations efficiently is critical for pediatric health maintenance activities. Pediatric EHR is a specialized information system that provides additional support to pediatricians to track immunization data which includes maintaining an inventory of separate vaccines, eligibility assessment and submitting this information as reports, as and when necessary.<\/p>\n

iPediatricsEHR offers a special and very important pediatric functionality. It empowers pediatricians with a completely customizable Immunization Master that enables alerts on pending vaccinations and automated reminder letters to the patient and the practice.<\/p>\n

2. Convenience for families<\/b><\/p>\n

Getting set up with a patient portal is a great way to bring more communication efficiency and conveniency for patients, parents, and providers. The patient portal allows families to easily view and print immunization records, school forms, growth charts, and diagnostic test results. Parents and caregivers can request medication refills, referrals, and forms without paying a visit to the doctor. Besides this, the patient portal helps pediatricians to streamline their workflow, save their time and improve the patient experience all around.<\/p>\n

iPatientCare Patient Portal is one of the most loved patient engagement technology among our users. It is built to empower patients with the information they need to manage their own health proactively. They can update their own demographics, review personal health records (PHR), view lab results and education material, request prescription refills and appointments\/referrals and send secure messages related to clinical questions.<\/p>\n

3. Readily available biometric-specific norms for growth curves and support growth charts for children<\/b><\/p>\n

Pediatric EMR provides pediatricians the ability to use pediatric age-specific norms for weight, height\/length, head circumference, and Body Mass Index (BMI) to calculate and display growth percentiles. It also makes it easy to plot them over time on standardized CDC\/WHO growth curves as appropriate. Pediatric electronic health record is designed to provide a comprehensive display of growth charts<\/a>\u00a0with selected growth parameters such as height, weight, head circumference, and BMI, along with appropriate sets of norms provided by the CDC or in a compatible tabular format.<\/p>\n

iPatientCare Pediatrics EHR offers all the above-mentioned functionalities and enables pediatric healthcare providers to chart preterm, infant and child growth records.<\/p>\n

4. Obtain Weight based dosage with Pediatric dosage Calculator<\/b><\/p>\n

A pediatric healthcare system has the in-built capability to compute drug doses, based on appropriate dosage ranges, using the patient\u2019s body weight and body surface area, and incorporate it into the prescribing process by suggesting doses on the basis of these computations.<\/p>\n

iPatientCare Pediatrics EHR is configured with an in-built Pediatric Dose Calculator that quickly calculates the dose to avoid contradictions and makes sure the proper pediatric dose is prescribed from the same Rx screen.<\/p>\n

6. Treat children at remote locations<\/b><\/p>\n

The growth and evolution of telehealth<\/a> are opening new avenues for efficient, effective, and affordable pediatric health care services, enabling pediatricians to treat children at remote locations. Telemedicine, a subset of telehealth enables to overcome the barriers of distance and time making access to care more cost-effective and convenient.

7. Save money on missed appointments<\/b><\/p>\n

The most popular way of avoiding no shows is an automated appointment reminder. It assists pediatric healthcare providers to send automated appointment reminders using the channels most preferred by parents and caregivers. It can be via call, text message, or email. Parents appreciate this type of efficiency in their children\u2019s care and ensure that their child\u2019s health is on top of the doctor\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n

8. Manage records and orders from multiple labs without repetition<\/b><\/p>\n

Pediatric-specific EHR enables to submit lab orders and diagnostic tests electronically and track results directly through the EMR. Pediatricians can receive notifications as soon as results are received and quickly file them in the patient’s chart.<\/p>\n

The lab interface in iPatientcare pediatric EHR helps pediatricians in monitoring and optimizing lab records from multiple labs without any duplication. It facilitates electronic lab ordering and receiving services that are fully integrated and bi-directional and can be easily attached to charts so that lab orders and results are easily accessible, printed or faxed.<\/p>\n

9. Enables Instant Alerts<\/b><\/p>\n

Alerts related to vaccination reminders, updates on medication dosages, or potential allergic reactions play a very important role in pediatric diagnosis. One of the prominent advantages of having pediatric specialty EHR is receiving alerts for patients immediately.<\/p>\n

iPatientCare pediatric healthcare solutions enable pediatricians to maintain and increase patient safety with clinical alerts to avoid any potential conflicts. Computerized provider order entry (CPOE), a component of a pediatric EHR helps to reduce the incidence of medication errors and support better outcomes.<\/p>\n

The cloud-based pediatric EHR allows families to create their own family profile. Through one click it gives pediatricians access and links to charts and other useful features.
