## What is pediatric software? 

Researched by: [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/resources/author/capterra/)

Updated on August 9, 2026

Pediatric software or pediatric EMR (electronic medical record) software automates the operations of child healthcare practices and neonatal centers. As an electronic health record (EHR) system, the tool integrates pediatrics practice management and electronic medical records functionality with appointment scheduling, medical billing, and inventory management capabilities. Integration allows pediatricians to spend more time with their patients, reduce the amount of paperwork, and save money. 

Using pediatric EMR software, pediatricians are able to modernize their pediatric healthcare practice, including streamlining workflow, managing and scheduling treatment, and focusing on general patient care. The tool offers unique features for pediatric clinics such as immunization management to track vaccines, preparing BMI charts, sharing health cards with patients, and more.

## Benefits of pediatric software

-   **Manage reports from multiple labs:** Pediatric software captures, tracks, and manages patients’ health reports from different labs in a centralized location. You can also share the reports with the parents or guardians of the pediatric patient to access and check the prescribed treatment. The reports can be downloaded or printed for future reference.
    
-   **Track vaccine schedule:** With pediatric software, you can maintain and track the vaccine schedule for patients such as completed and upcoming vaccinations. The tool lets you prepare immunization reports for your and the patients' reference. This process helps avoid missing out on the due date of critical vaccinations. 
-   **Organize prescription and medication:** You can capture and manage prescriptions and medications related to your patient’s treatment in a centralized cloud storage. The repository is available for the patients and their parents to access for reference in case they lose the on-paper copy of the prescription or have to recall the prescribed treatment. 
-   **Prepare patient health chart:** Using pediatric software allows you to maintain a record of patient information such as history of illnesses and the prescribed treatment. Documenting health information assists you with better patient care whilst being aware of factors such as a genetic condition, allergy to medications, or previous illnesses. 
-   **Send instant alerts:** You can set alerts to remind patients about their medications, scheduled visits, or due vaccinations using the software. The alerts can be in the form of email or text message. This gives the patient’s parents a sense of ease knowing that they do not have to search for paper copies of health records to check for due visits.

-   **Appointment scheduling:** Schedule appointments for patients and share the details with the patient or their parents. Set automated alerts in direct messages or push notifications to remind patients about upcoming visits.
    
-   **ePrescribing:** Share the patients’ prescriptions with the labs or pharmacy online to avoid confusion about the prescribed medication. Instantly update the pharmacy when prescribing any controlled medications. 
-   **Electronic payments:** Create invoices to share with patients online and accept online payments from patients via UPI (unified payments interface), card, or net banking. 
-   **Inventory management:** Manage and track the inventory of medications, equipment, devices and other supplies used in the treatment of patients. Place online orders and document the payment receipts for audits.

## Considerations when purchasing pediatric software

-   **Is the tool HIPAA compliant?**
    

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a law that requires medical software tools and practices to protect sensitive patient health records from being disclosed without the patient's consent. Check if your selected pediatric software complies with HIPAA guidelines to ensure all your patient data is secure from unauthorized access. 

-   **What are the electronic payment options offered by the tool?**
    

Certain pediatric software tools allow you to accept online payments from patients or their guardians for medications or treatment. There are multiple online payment modes available and you need to check the availability of the most convenient options such as net banking or debit/credit cards with your selected software tool. 

-   **Does the tool offer a self-service patient portal?**
    

A self-service patient portal allows your patients or their guardians to access health records, prescriptions, and invoices. Having such a portal eliminates the need for you to share health records with patients every time they are required. Check if your selected pediatric software offers a self-service payment portal and also analyze its features such as raising requests, downloading or printing documents, or scheduling appointments.
