EHR Connection, August 20, 2007
The journal Pediatrics recently published a report which details the specific functionalities that EHR systems need to have in order to support pediatric care, according to The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Web site.
The report covers areas such as:
- Immunization management
- Medication dosing

- Patient identification
According to the report, pediatric EHR systems must be capable of handling certain situations.
