PEDIATRICS Vol. 108 No. 2 August 2001, pp. 513-515

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Special Requirements for Electronic Medical Record Systems in Pediatrics

Task Force on Medical Informatics

Electronic medical record (EMR) systems, which are usually designed for adult care, must perform certain functions to be useful in pediatric care. This statement outlines these functions (eg, immunization tracking and pediatric dosing calculations) to assist vendors and standards organizations with software design for pediatric systems. The description of these functions should also provide pediatricians with a set of requirements or desirable features to use when evaluating EMR systems. Particular attention is paid to special aspects of pediatric clinical care and privacy issues unique to pediatrics.
