Recap: Kyna Fong in Fast Company on Pediatric Primary Care

In Fast Company’s article “Pediatric primary care needs change now,” Elation CEO Kyna Fong makes a compelling case that pediatric primary care must evolve — both culturally and technologically.

Systemic Challenges in Pediatric Primary Care
Fong highlights how many children miss a significant percentage of recommended well-child visits due to limited access and logistical hurdles — a trend that can have lifelong consequences. This gap underscores the need for innovative solutions that put families and pediatric clinicians first. 

The Case for Technology
Fong emphasizes that technology — when thoughtfully embedded into clinical workflows — can reduce administrative burden, support documentation accuracy, and help clinicians deliver higher-quality care. By automating time-consuming tasks, clinicians can spend more time with children and families.

What This Means for Pediatric Care
Implementing child-focused clinical templates, proactive outreach tools, and AI-supported documentation creates more efficient and effective pediatric workflows — ultimately improving outcomes.

Kyna Fong’s piece in Fast Company is not just a call to attention — it’s a call to action. Primary care must embrace innovation to protect the health of the next generation.
