Specialty

EMR and hospital software for pediatrics

Immunization schedules, measurements at every visit, and a parent as the point of contact.

About pediatrics

Pediatrics follows a child from birth to adolescence, so the record is a running story of growth, immunizations and development as much as of illnesses. Every visit is also a conversation with a parent, who is the contact, the consent and usually the payer.

What makes this specialty hard to run

The operational problems a system has to answer, before any feature list.

  1. 01

    The patient is a child; the contact, consent, and payer is a parent or guardian.

  2. 02

    Immunization and growth follow a schedule, not an episode.

  3. 03

    Growth is judged against a reference population, which is a different question from whether a child is growing.

  4. 04

    Weight-based dosing has to be right every time.

How Nirogix supports pediatrics

Grouped the way the day runs. Every line says whether it is in the product today or planned.

Available todayPlanned, not available yet

Clinical pathways are reference content your clinical team reviews and edits as its own; nothing is ordered or prescribed until a doctor chooses it. Calculators inform a decision and do not write to the record. A line that needs a particular module names it.

The child at a glance

With the Pediatrics module.

  • A summary at the top of the consultation: age, how the child was born, what is overdue and any development flagged, with corrected age beside real age for a preterm baby
  • Birth and feeding history: gestation in weeks and days, birth weight, delivery and an NICU stay, and a 63-item milestone checklist a clinician fills in
  • As many guardians as a child has, each marked for who to call first, who to call in an emergency and who may consent

Growth

  • Weight, height, head circumference and MUAC recorded at the precision a pediatrician measures
  • WHO growth charts from birth to nineteen years, with the centile and z-score of the latest reading
  • A second view against the child’s own earlier measurements, with the change per month between visits
  • A printed growth chart, and IAP charts for children over five(planned)

Immunization

  • A schedule worked out from the date of birth: given, due, overdue and upcoming, and recording a dose closes the right one
  • A clinic-wide board of children behind on vaccines, and a printed card for the parent
  • The next vaccine’s due date offered as the follow-up when the review is booked
  • Vaccination reminders by message, and catch-up schedules(planned)

Prescribing for a child

  • Weight-based dosing on the prescription: enter mg/kg and the dose and syrup volume are worked from the recorded weight, checked against a ceiling you supply, and written in only when you accept it
  • Recorded allergies shown on the prescription, and the exact drug an allergy names flagged
  • Calculators in the consultation: pediatric dose, APGAR, New Ballard, maintenance IV fluids, GCS and BMI
  • Per-drug pediatric dose ceilings built in(planned)

The consultation

  • Eleven pediatric pathways ready on day one: well-child visit, bronchiolitis, croup, febrile seizure, neonatal jaundice, measles, failure to thrive and more
  • Diagnoses coded from common pediatric ICD-10-CM codes, including well-child and immunization visits
  • A structured pediatric form set up with you during onboarding, which sits in the consultation and locks with the signed note

Parents, wards and reports

  • The child’s vaccination record, prescriptions and finished lab reports in the patient app, with the Patient Portal module
  • Appointment reminders by SMS or WhatsApp through your hospital’s own accounts
  • NICU and PICU as ward types for admission, with the ICU module’s bedside monitoring chart for a sick child
  • Family linking, and a pediatric dashboard(planned)

What changes for the practice

Growth that is plotted, not described

Each measurement lands on the WHO chart with a centile, and on the child’s own line, so a flattening curve shows early.

Vaccines nobody loses track of

The due board lists children behind schedule across the clinic, and the next dose date becomes the follow-up.

Liquid doses worked out, not guessed

mg/kg doses come from the recorded weight and are written in only when you accept them.

Parents on the same page

The printed card, the app and the reminders show the parent the schedule you see.

The modules a practice like this turns on

Modules are entitlements: enable what you need now and add the rest when you are ready. Nothing is re-implemented per specialty.

What gets configured for you

Guardian contact on the patient recordVitals captured per visitImmunization and review visit scheduling

Most specialties differ in configuration rather than code: the same modules are enabled and set up differently. Where a specialty has a module of its own (twenty-three today, from Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Dentistry to Cardiology, Oncology and Nephrology), it is switched on per hospital. Where a specialty needs a capability the platform does not have yet, we say so during the demo rather than after you buy.

Questions we are asked

Which growth charts does Nirogix use?

The WHO growth reference from birth to nineteen years, read from WHO’s published tables and checked against WHO’s own cut-offs. IAP charts are not loaded yet.

Does it send vaccination reminders?

Not yet. The schedule and the clinic-wide board show who is due or overdue, and booked appointments get reminders; reminders for the vaccine itself are planned.

Is the milestone checklist a screening test?

No. It is a record of the milestones a clinician observes, and it produces no score.

Does weight-based dosing prescribe for us?

No. It works out the dose from the weight and the mg/kg you enter, checks it against the ceiling you supply, and writes it in only when you press Use.

Can we admit newborns and children?

Yes, with Admission (IPD), where NICU and PICU are ward types, and the ICU module adds the bedside monitoring chart and ventilation.
