Your patients are unique– why not use the first-of-its-kind Drummond certified pediatric EHR to treat them? Recognized for advanced achievements in the management of pediatric use cases, OP lets you treat children like children, not “little adults”. That’s an experience you won’t have with a generic, adult-centric EHR.
When it comes to EHRs, one size does not fit all, and you shouldn’t settle for something that kind of fits your needs and workflows. You’ll see a lot of EHRs claiming to be “pediatric-specific,” “pediatric-friendly,” or “pediatric-focused.” But, they’re not.
Hear from a Practice Administrator who’s been in your shoes, as she recounts her experience looking for a new EHR 8 years ago and how she knew OP was the right fit for her practice.
“We know that every dollar that goes into research and development is for the benefit of pediatricians.”
– Holly Velez, RN, Practice Administrator at Island Coast Pediatrics

Created for parents and patients alike, the AAP Bright Future Patient Education handouts provide essential information for health supervision care from infancy through adolescence. These resources can easily be sent from OP to the patient portal, reducing wasted paper without sacrificing patient care.
Created by Dr. Barton Schmitt, these handouts provide parents and patients with the information they need to remain safe and healthy — no memorization necessary. The PCA library contains 283 primary care handouts covering the top 200 pediatric diagnoses plus, handouts on behavioral and prevention topics.
OP provides integrated surveillance and screening tools such as CRAFFT Screening, Autism M-CHAT-R (Scored), PHQ-2 & 9, Asthma Control Test (ACT), and Bright Futures Developmental Questionnaires to effectively assess your patients’ overall health, development, mental health and more. We also offer bi-directional integration with CHADIS®, the leading provider of online pediatric developmental surveillance tools such as Ages and Stages (ASQ™), M-CHAT™, and Vanderbilt ADHD assessments.
Seamless surveys: When surveys are completed online, the results are sent directly to the patient’s chart for review prior to a visit. This gives the provider information in advance on how to prioritize the visit.
Enhanced Revenue: Many of the screenings included in OP are covered services in addition to routine preventive care. Automatic charge capture ensures that you don't miss the opportunity to bill for these screenings, maximizing revenue that may be missed by a generic EHR.
A: Office Practicum is the pediatric EHR that was created by pediatricians for pediatricians and has been recognized for advanced achievements in the management of pediatric use cases. Unlike generic EHRs that are adult-centric with pediatric add-ons, OP was designed from the ground up by pediatricians for pediatricians. Every feature—from age-based visit templates following Bright Futures protocols to VacLogic+ vaccine management, hybrid WHO/CDC growth charts, and weight-based ePrescribing—was built specifically for pediatric workflows. Generic EHRs treat children as ‘little adults,’ while OP recognizes their unique developmental, clinical, and documentation needs from newborn through adolescence. OP is designed to handle complex family structures that most EHRs cannot support. In pediatric care, nearly every patient has a guarantor—and often multiple guarantors—with relationships that extend beyond a traditional family model. These connections may include biological relationships, social support systems (such as food and housing), and financial responsibilities (including insurance and payments). This flexibility allows OP to accurately represent and manage a wide range of family dynamics, including traditional households, blended families, and foster care situations.
A: VacLogic+ is OP’s proprietary vaccine management solution designed specifically for the complexity of pediatric immunizations. It follows AAP guidelines and supports the entire immunization process from inventory management to administration to future forecasting of vaccine needs. VacLogic+ provides real-time alerts when vaccines are due, shows rationale for recommended vaccines based on the child’s history and age, helps manage vaccine inventory and expiration dates, supports state immunization registry reporting, and handles complex catch-up schedules automatically. Generic EHRs often lack these pediatric-specific vaccine workflows, leading to missed immunizations, manual tracking, and compliance challenges that VacLogic+ eliminates.
A: Absolutely! OP provides 200+ out-of-the-box visit templates that are age and symptom-specific, based on AAP Bright Futures protocols. These templates include integrated Bright Futures questionnaires, over 30 pediatric-specific surveys, patient education resources, and developmental milestones. You can use these templates as-is or fully customize them to match your practice’s unique workflows and documentation preferences including charting by exception and standard care plans. Many practices start with our proven templates and then tailor them over time, creating the perfect balance between standardization and personalization. Our templates help ensure comprehensive documentation while reducing the time you spend charting.
A: OP’s electronic school and camp forms feature saves countless hours of manual form completion. With one-click completion, all relevant patient information—immunization records, physical exam findings, medical history, and provider signatures—is automatically transferred to the corresponding fields on the form. The completed form can be instantly printed or shared directly to the patient portal for parents to access. These forms are fully customizable to meet unique state and regional requirements, ensuring compliance with local regulations. This automation eliminates the tedious manual transcription that wastes staff time and reduces errors from manual data entry.
A: Yes, OP is designed for interoperability and connectivity with a wide range of healthcare systems. We integrate with state immunization registries (IIS), labs for electronic results delivery, pharmacies for two-way ePrescribing communication, health information exchanges (HIEs), CHADIS for developmental screening tools (including Ages and Stages ASQ, M-CHAT, Vanderbilt ADHD), hospitals and specialists for care coordination, and billing clearinghouses for claims submission. Our integrations are designed to streamline workflows, reduce duplicate data entry, and ensure seamless information exchange across your care network. OP’s interoperability meets federal requirements while making your practice more efficient.
A: OP provides comprehensive support throughout implementation and beyond. During implementation, you receive dedicated onboarding specialists who configure the system, enable interface connections, train your entire team (clinical and administrative staff), and ensure smooth data migration from your previous system. Following go-live, you’ll enter our Hypercare phase. During this time, designated support analysts work closely with you to ensure you’re comfortable navigating the system before transitioning to ongoing Support. They’ll also identify any additional training needs and collaborate with your team to help improve practice efficiency.
After Hypercare, you’ll have full access to the OP Support Hub, which includes extensive documentation, video tutorials, and a searchable knowledge base. You’ll also benefit from chat, email, and phone support from pediatric EHR experts who understand your workflows, as well as regular training webinars covering new features and best practices. In addition, our active OP Community allows you to connect with other pediatric practices and share insights. Many of our customers value that our Support Team specializes exclusively in pediatrics. Rather than supporting a wide range of medical specialties, our team is focused entirely on pediatric workflows and challenges—bringing deeper expertise to every interaction.
A: Implementation timelines vary based on practice size, complexity, and data migration needs, but most practices go live within 90 days from contract signing. The implementation process includes discovery and planning (understanding your workflows and requirements), system configuration (templates, forms, users, preferences), data migration from your existing EHR, comprehensive staff training (both clinical and administrative), testing and validation, and go-live support with onsite or virtual assistance. We work closely with your team to minimize disruption to your practice operations. Many practices choose to go live between busy seasons (after sick season, before back-to-school) to ensure the smoothest transition. Our implementation team has done this hundreds of times with pediatric practices specifically, so we know how to make it successful.
