Elation Featured in HIT Consultant: Expanding Pediatrics Capabilities and Completing the Evolution to an AI-Native Primary Care Platform

We are thrilled to share exciting news that follows closely on the heels of our recent announcement regarding the formal expansion of our pediatrics capabilities. Our commitment to empowering primary care clinicians and meeting the evolving needs of family health has earned significant attention, and we are proud to have been featured in a recent article by HIT Consultant.

The coverage, titled “Elation Health Expands into Pediatrics, Completing Evolution to AI-Native Primary Care Platform,” highlights the crucial steps we are taking to ensure primary care clinicians who treat children have the tailored workflows and intelligent tools necessary to deliver outstanding care.

Here is a recap of the key takeaways from the HIT Consultant coverage:

Meeting the Demand for Thoughtful Pediatric Workflows

The article emphasizes that our expansion was a necessary step driven by the reality of family medicine: over 40% of primary care clinicians using Elation Health already see young patients. This official launch provides comprehensive, specialized support for both established and new pediatric practices.

As our Chief Product Officer, Ashley Rogers, stated in the feature:

“Pediatric primary care shapes the future of our nation's health, and clinicians deserve more thoughtful, tailored workflows to help them focus on kids and families.”

This expansion is about equipping clinicians with tools that truly understand and adapt to the unique needs of a pediatric practice, allowing them to focus on the child and their family.

An AI-Native Platform Delivers Intelligent Advancement

A major focus of the coverage was our evolution into an AI-native platform. This approach is designed to deliver faster, more intelligent advancements that help clinicians thrive.

Our AI-forward strategy ensures that frequent, intelligent enhancements are shaped by real-world clinician input and evidence, all while maintaining our high standards for safety, validation, and transparency. This means the features we roll out are not just new — they are truly meaningful and immediately actionable in a busy primary care setting.

Specialized Tools to Enhance Clinical Accuracy and Communication

The media coverage pointed to several specific enhancements integrated directly into Elation's clinical workflows that are already making a difference:

  • Accurate Dosing: Our platform now includes weight-based prescribing support via an embedded calculator, reducing cognitive load and enhancing safety for medication management.

  • Integrated Screeners: Critical pediatric screeners (including SWYC, M-CHAT, ASQ, and Vanderbilt) are now available directly within forms and workflows, streamlining parent/guardian completion before or during visits.

  • Streamlined Documentation: New well-child visit templates for ages 0–18 are ready to copy and customize, simplifying documentation and counseling.

  • Enhanced Communication: The new, refined growth charts offer precise percentiles and are easier to share in clinical communications. Clinicians are already reporting that showing parents the charts and "seeing their understanding and relief is priceless," saving valuable time during appointments.

These early successes underscore the power of integrating specialized features into a platform built around the doctor-patient relationship.

We are incredibly energized by the positive reception of our pediatric expansion and our ongoing journey to becoming a fully AI-native primary care platform. We remain dedicated to powering innovation in primary care and look forward to continuing to enhance our platform — including additional patient engagement tools anticipated in 2026 — to support every clinician serving every patient, from newborn to adult.
