Discover Financial ManagementBeing the first pediatric-specialty EHR to receive Drummond’s Pediatric Health IT Certification with advanced achievement in six core areas is a testament to our commitment to building technology solutions uniquely for pediatric needs. As a pediatric-specialty EHR, everything we do is for the pediatric community. OP functions exclusively to support the care needs of kids – something we know is missing from generic EHRs.
The support we offer isn’t limited to our software functionality. We also know the complexity and nuances for pediatricians when it comes to sharing health data and maintaining an accessible central record of pertinent information and confidentiality. Meeting and exceeding ONC compliance as a certified EHR is one way we go the distance to support the providers who depend on us to stay on track with industry changes.
We understand the frustrations pediatricians are facing are unprecedented. You want to regain control of your time without sacrificing patient care. With OP’s full pediatric EHR platform, you can do just that.
First, we build a plan specific to the unique needs of your practice.
Then, we provide easy-to-use pediatric-specific capabilities and workflows that span everything from growth charts and vaccine management to behavioral health tools.
Last, we empower you to get your life back so you can see more patients and spend less time on documentation.
