Best EMR for a Pediatrician

‍

The Government of India has proactively promoted the adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and Electronic Health Records (EHRs), with the aim of enhancing the efficiency, accuracy and accessibility of healthcare services. Key initiatives, such as the creation of a comprehensive digital health infrastructure through the Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission (ABDM), the issuance of unique Health IDs to citizens and the establishment of EHR standards in 2016, have accelerated the digital transformation of the healthcare sector.

‍

Pediatricians in India face significant challenges using generic Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) that are not tailored to their specialty. Pediatric EMR systems should prioritize automated workflows with features like growth charts, immunization trackers and dose calculators. Efficient handling of family profiles, pediatric-specific templates and data fields ensures relevant information is readily available. A built-in pediatric drug database and medication box function, with drug-to-drug interaction alerts, empowers informed prescribing and medication adherence.

Generic electronic medical record systems fail to meet the specialized needs of pediatric practices. There is a clear demand for customizable and adaptable pediatric-specific EMR software to enhance patient care and ensure the success of these medical practices.
