Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
As information technology has become a larger factor in the healthcare industry, one area of care that has been somewhat neglected is pediatrics. The most significant factor differentiating pediatric care from adult care in terms of IT implementation is the variability in treatment based on a patient's age and size. But while there are challenges--particularly in the areas of medication administration, growth chart analysis and clinical documentation--forward-thinking leaders have found success by collaborating with vendors to customize products to meet their needs. It's important to develop relationships with other organizations and create a network of trusted leaders who can provide advice when rolling out applications like EMRs. |
