Growth Charts and Vitals

Growth doesn’t follow a single curve. OP knows how to chart them all.

Pediatric growth is complex. Tracking it shouldn’t be. Office Practicum automatically applies the right growth references, specialty curves, percentiles, and pediatric vital ranges, giving providers a clearer picture of how each child is growing and what may need attention.

WHY IT MATTERS

Built for all the ways children grow.

The right growth reference, automatically

AAP-recommended WHO/CDC hybrid growth charts apply based on age, helping providers track growth against the appropriate pediatric reference without manually choosing charts.

Specialty curves built for pediatrics

Track preemies using corrected age and appropriate growth curves, with specialty growth curves for children with Down syndrome built right into OP.

Vitals that know pediatrics

Evaluate pediatric vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate, against age-appropriate ranges based on Harriet Lane guidelines, making abnormal measurements easier to identify.

HOW IT WORKS

The pediatric intelligence is already built in.

1
Start with growth and vitals

Enter height, weight, head circumference, blood pressure, and other measurements directly into the visit workflow. Once.

2
Put every child on the right curve

OP automatically applies the appropriate growth chart, percentile, corrected age, or specialty curve based on each child’s age and needs.

3
Know when something needs a closer look

OP automatically calculates BMI and flags abnormal pediatric vital signs, helping providers quickly identify measurements that may need attention.

4
Skip the conversions and calculations

OP converts English and metric measurements and calculates percentiles automatically, keeping extra math out of the visit.
