Is Your Pediatric EHR Working for You? A Clinician’s Guide to Modern Workflows

The demands of pediatric and family medicine—precision in dosing, complex coordination, and essential family-centered communication—require a technology infrastructure that fully supports these needs. Yet, for many practices, the Electronic Health Record (EHR) remains a source of considerable friction, characterized by inefficient documentation, manual screening processes, and gaps in managing preventive care and immunization records.

These operational inefficiencies do more than just add administrative stress; they can introduce vulnerabilities in patient safety, compromise quality metrics, and ultimately impact the financial health of the practice. The EHR should function as an accelerator of exceptional care, not an impediment to it.

Assessing the Clinical Technology Gap

We are pleased to introduce our new guide, Is Your Pediatric EHR Working for You? A Clinician’s Guide to Modern Workflows, Safer Care, and Practice Success. This resource is designed for clinicians and practice administrators seeking an honest assessment of their current technology's performance in a pediatric setting.

The guide provides a structured methodology to evaluate and improve how effectively your EHR supports the unique clinical and operational workflows of a busy pediatric practice. You will learn the necessary benchmarks for modern pediatric technology, how to pinpoint specific areas of inefficiency, and which actionable steps you can take to enhance care delivery, minimize errors, and improve overall operational performance.

Key areas covered in this guide include:

  • Workflow Optimization: Detailed instruction on evaluating and streamlining core pediatric workflows, including growth tracking, weight-based dosing calculations, execution of developmental screeners, and efficient management of well-child visits.

  • Preventive Care Integrity: Strategies for strengthening the accuracy of preventive care and immunization management through automated workflows, integration with immunization registries, and documentation tools specific to age and clinical guidelines.

  • Operational Modernization: An exploration of how contemporary EHR features—including AI-enabled documentation support and sophisticated family engagement tools—can decisively reduce administrative overhead and elevate the patient experience.

The objective is straightforward: to equip your team to deliver exceptional patient care more efficiently and with a significantly reduced administrative burden.
