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.

Office Practicum is a pediatric EHR built specifically for pediatric care. Unlike generic EHRs that were originally designed for adult medicine and later adapted for children, Office Practicum was created by pediatricians for pediatricians.
Every aspect of the platform is designed around pediatric workflows and clinical requirements. This includes age-based visit templates aligned with Bright Futures guidelines, comprehensive vaccine management and inventory, hybrid WHO and CDC growth charts, weight-based ePrescribing, developmental screening tools, and pediatric-specific clinical decision support.
Office Practicum also supports the complex family and caregiver relationships that are common in pediatric medicine. The system can accommodate multiple guarantors, guardians, caregivers, and family structures, helping practices accurately manage clinical, financial, and social relationships across a child’s care journey.
Rather than treating children as small adults, Office Practicum is designed to support the unique developmental, clinical, documentation, and workflow needs of pediatric patients — from newborns through adolescence.
The result is a pediatric-specific EHR that helps practices work more efficiently, improve clinical workflows, and deliver care using tools designed specifically for pediatric medicine.
A:
VacLogic+ is Office Practicum’s pediatric-specific vaccine management system, designed to support the complexity of childhood immunizations and immunization schedules.
Unlike many generic EHRs that offer basic vaccine documentation, VacLogic+ helps manage the entire immunization workflow. It follows AAP immunization guidelines, provides vaccine forecasting based on a child’s age and immunization history, generates real-time alerts when vaccines are due, and explains why specific vaccines are recommended.
VacLogic+ also supports vaccine inventory management, expiration date tracking, state immunization registry reporting, and automated management of catch-up immunization schedules. These tools help pediatric practices reduce manual tracking, improve vaccine compliance, and streamline vaccine administration workflows.
Because VacLogic+ was built specifically for pediatric care, it understands the unique challenges of childhood immunizations that many adult-focused EHRs were not designed to handle.
The result is more efficient vaccine management, better visibility into immunization status, and greater confidence that patients receive the right vaccines at the right time.
A: Yes, absolutely! Office Practicum includes more than 200 pediatric visit templates that can be used as-is or customized to match your practice’s workflows and documentation preferences.
Unlike generic EHR templates, Office Practicum’s templates are designed specifically for pediatric care and are aligned with AAP Bright Futures guidelines. Templates are age-specific and symptom-specific, helping providers document well visits, sick visits, and other common pediatric encounters efficiently and consistently.
The templates also include integrated Bright Futures protocols, more than 30 pediatric-specific surveys, developmental milestone tracking, patient education resources, charting by exception, and standardized care plans. These pediatric-specific tools help support comprehensive documentation while reducing the time spent charting.
Practices can customize templates, workflows, questionnaires, documentation elements, and care plans to fit their individual needs. Many pediatricians start with Office Practicum’s proven templates and then tailor them over time to create the right balance between standardization and personalization.
The result is a pediatric EHR that combines the efficiency of pre-built best-practice templates with the flexibility to support each practice’s unique approach to care.
A: This is an area where our EHR truly excels. Office Practicum helps pediatric practices automate the completion of school forms, camp forms, sports physical forms, daycare forms, and other common pediatric health forms.
With one-click form completion, relevant patient information — including immunization records, physical exam findings, medical history, medications, allergies, and provider signatures — can automatically populate the appropriate fields on the form. This eliminates much of the manual data entry traditionally required to complete pediatric forms.
Completed forms can be printed, saved electronically, or securely shared through the patient portal, making it easier for families to access important health documents when they need them.
Office Practicum’s electronic forms are also customizable, allowing practices to accommodate state-specific and organization-specific requirements for schools, camps, sports programs, and childcare facilities.
By automating school and camp form completion, pediatric practices can reduce administrative workload, improve accuracy, save staff time, and provide a better experience for families.
A:
Yes. Office Practicum is designed to support interoperability and seamless data exchange across the healthcare ecosystem.
The platform integrates with state Immunization Information Systems (IIS), laboratories for electronic lab orders and results, pharmacies for two-way ePrescribing, health information exchanges (HIEs), hospitals, specialists, and billing clearinghouses. These integrations help reduce duplicate data entry, streamline workflows, and improve care coordination.
Office Practicum also integrates with CHADIS, a widely used pediatric screening platform that supports developmental, behavioral, and mental health assessments. Through CHADIS, practices can access screening tools such as Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ), M-CHAT autism screening, Vanderbilt ADHD assessments, and other pediatric screening instruments commonly used in clinical practice.
By connecting with the systems pediatricians rely on every day, Office Practicum helps practices improve efficiency, maintain accurate patient records, support coordinated care, and meet interoperability requirements.
The result is a more connected pediatric EHR that allows providers to spend less time managing data and more time caring for patients.
A: Office Practicum provides comprehensive implementation, training, and ongoing support designed specifically for pediatric practices.
During implementation, each practice is assigned dedicated onboarding specialists who help configure the system, establish interface connections, support data migration from your previous EHR, and train both clinical and administrative staff. The goal is to ensure a smooth transition while tailoring the system to your practice’s workflows.
After go-live, practices enter Office Practicum’s Hypercare phase. During this period, designated support analysts work closely with your team to ensure users are comfortable navigating the system, identify additional training opportunities, answer questions, and help optimize workflows for greater efficiency.
Following Hypercare, practices receive access to the OP Support Hub, which includes detailed documentation, video tutorials, training resources, and a searchable knowledge base. Users can also access support through chat, email, and phone, as well as ongoing training webinars covering new features, best practices, and workflow optimization.
Office Practicum also offers an active OP Community where pediatric practices can connect, exchange ideas, and learn from one another.
One of the biggest differences is that Office Practicum’s support team focuses exclusively on pediatrics. Rather than supporting multiple medical specialties, our implementation specialists, trainers, and support analysts work with pediatric practices every day, bringing deep expertise in pediatric workflows, vaccine management, well-child care, Bright Futures guidelines, and pediatric practice operations.
The result is a pediatric EHR implementation and support experience designed to help practices succeed from onboarding through long-term growth.
A: Implementation timelines vary based on practice size, workflow complexity, interface needs, and data migration requirements, but most practices go live with Office Practicum within 90 days of contract signing.
The implementation process includes discovery and planning, system configuration, template and form setup, user preferences, data migration from your existing EHR, clinical and administrative staff training, testing and validation, and go-live support with onsite or virtual assistance.
Office Practicum works closely with your team to minimize disruption to daily practice operations and help ensure a smooth transition. The implementation plan is tailored to your practice’s schedule, staffing needs, and operational requirements.
Because our implementation team works specifically with pediatric practices, they understand pediatric workflows, vaccine management, well-child visits, billing processes, and the operational needs of independent pediatric offices.
The result is a structured pediatric EHR implementation process designed to help your practice move from planning to go-live with confidence.
