Optimizing pediatric care requires enhanced electronic health record (EHR) functionality. A prioritized list of 47 EHR requirements and 16 recommended uses were developed to improve children

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Pediatric Health Technology

Background:

  • Electronic health record (EHR) systems have advanced, but pediatric-specific functionalities lag.
  • The initial Children's EHR Format (Format) identified 547 requirements, needing refinement for practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To promote awareness of high-priority EHR functional requirements for pediatric care.
  • To focus industry adoption of essential health information technology functionalities for children.
  • To align stakeholders on prioritizing specific pediatric EHR needs.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Delphi process involving multistakeholder input.
  • Systematic review of existing EHR requirements and refinement through voting and discussion.
  • Development of a shortened, high-priority list of EHR functional requirements.

Main Results:

  • Identification and refinement of 47 high-priority EHR functional requirements for pediatric care.
  • Development of 16 recommended uses for the Children's EHR Format.
  • Creation of the 2015 Children's EHR Format Priority List.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced EHR functionality is crucial for optimal pediatric care.
  • Prioritization and adoption of specific EHR features are needed for well-child care, medication management, and immunization tracking.
  • The refined list and recommended uses provide guidance for improving pediatric health information technology.
