Ambulatory Pediatric Solutions 2024

11 March 24 | Andy Paulsen and Chris Clune

Amid changing regulations from entities like the American Academy of Pediatrics and HIPAA, pediatric clinics’ functionality needs are increasing and becoming more specific. Most ambulatory pediatric practices are small organizations with limited budgets, and they have to prioritize functionalities that are most important and forgo others to stay within budget. In addition to established pediatric-specific vendors, broad-specialty vendors are addressing this challenge by developing pediatric-specific EHRs or adapting existing platforms to cater to customer needs. Following KLAS’ 2023 report on the pediatrics market , this report examines how well pediatric-specific and broad-specialty vendors meet the unique customer needs of this niche market.
