It’s no surprise that pediatric mental health issues have skyrocketed to unrivaled levels as children have been forced to navigate the challenges that have come with the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Desperate for ways to address this growing concern, healthcare professionals across the United States are coming together to share ideas about programs, policies, and best practices that will positively impact the mental health of youth and adolescents in the US.

With pediatric practices all over the country feeling understaffed and overworked, it is crucial to ensure you are using the correct tools for practice efficiency and workflow optimization.

Patient care gaps are created when we fail to follow up with patients referred to specialists, sent for a diagnostic test, or recently prescribed medication. How can you most efficiently and effectively handle these workflows?

Instead of trying to change the reality of your patient’s busy lives, clinicians should be working diligently to make every visit easier.
