TOP TEN REASONS PEDIATRICIANS CHOOSE ENCOUNTERPRO/ENCOUNTERPRO-OS
Our Specialty is Your Specialty. 70 percent of EncounterPRO-OS's users are pediatricians (25 percent of the remaining users practice in Family Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology settings).
Fifteen Years of Pediatric-Specific Design and Improvement. Developed in 1994 and deployed the next year, EncounterPRO-OS was the first Windows-based pediatric EMR. EncounterPRO-OS is "Clinical Groupware for Pediatric Practice."
Award Winning Pediatric EMR. The HIMSS Davies Award went to two Pediatrician's Using EncounterPRO-OS—Twice. Read their award winning application here and here.
EncounterPRO-OS's Famous Office View. Pediatricians and staff often struggle with office flow. Where are the patients? Where are the doctors? Where are the nurses? The EncounterPRO-OS EMR’s Office View lets users see where patients are located, which provider the patient is scheduled to see, what tasks have been ordered for the patient, who is responsible for performing the tasks, and how long each task has been outstanding in minutes (updated continually in real time)—all in one color-coded screen.
Immunization Management. EncounterPRO-OS's vaccine tracking and management module includes interfaces to state immunization registries, directly captures signed parental approval capture in exam room, notifies provider when a specific vaccine dose is due, recommends a schedule of the remaining doses, works for patients on schedule and for those who have fallen behind, and allows review of the CDC rules that determined the recommended schedule.
Pediatric-Specific Functionality. Including preterm, infant, and child growth charts, vaccination tracking, functional development, Barton Schmitt pediatric protocols for telephone triage, and direct integration with vitals/spirometer instruments from Midmark Diagnostics and Welch Allyn and much, much more.
Pediatric-Specific Reporting. Including School Physical Form, Return-to-School Form, Camp Physical Form, HEDIS Immunization Compliance Report, Immunization Report with Parent's Electronic Signature, Parent Take Home Report, Overdue Health Maintenance, VFC Usage and much, much more.
Pediatric-Specific Workflows. Automatically provides age and gender specific templates for nurse and pediatrician roles and includes: anticipatory guidance, diet and sleep histories, developmental guidelines, physical exams, hearing and vision test, and much, much more.
Pediatric-Specific Codes and Tools. Allows you to better manage, refine, streamline, and standardize your processes to ensure accurate charge capture and visit level coding according to the 1997 E&M Documentation Guidelines.

| TESTIMONIALS |
"Waiting times have been dramatically reduced every step of the way—not just the waiting room time. Parents are happier because going to the doctor no longer takes two hours out of their already overcrowded schedule. I can see more kids per hour with an actual increase in preventive services like screenings and vaccines—thus improving healthcare and increasing revenue at the same time." Jeffrey D. Cooper MD Pediatrician EncounterPRO User Since 1995 (and HIMSS Davies Award Winner)
|
"It has allowed our physicians to increase the number of patients they see in a day...And it has given the physicians that were already high-volume the opportunity to spend a little more time with their patients and be more personable." Dee McGee, Pediatric Practice Manager EncounterPRO User Since 1995
|
"It's really helped my lifestyle. I'm working three and a half days a week, I used to work seven days a week. So it's really made life much easier, and the staff love it!" Armand Gonzalzles MD Pediatrician EncounterPRO User Since 1999 (and HIMSS Davies Award Winner)
|
"At a time when physicians are being squeezed by cost constraints of record proportions while trying to continue to provide quality care, it is absolutely imperative that you look for a system that delivers security, cost efficiencies, and unparalleled quality of care in a new way—EncounterPro is that system." John Ivan Sutter MD Pediatrician EncounterPRO User Since 2000
|
"One Monday in the winter we had only two of our five doctors in the office. Then my partner was stuck at the hospital and I was left by myself. At the end of a long day I had seen 79 patients! I wasn’t even frazzled." Karen Kamachi MD Pediatrician, EncounterPRO User Since 2000
|
"My office went live 2 days ago and it's unbelievable! For the first time in my nearly 15 years in pediatric practice I left my office with all my charts and notations completed for the day...Thank you so much for giving me a life again!" Angela D. Hunt MD Pediatrician EncounterPRO User Since 2001
|
"We have seen a dramatic impact in lower cost, higher quality and increased speed of healthcare services. Parent satisfaction has dramatically increased as a result of the improved quality and timesavings of our healthcare services." Charles Gregg Pediatric Office Manager EncounterPRO User Since 2002
|
"EncounterPRO has reduced the amount of time it takes to produce medical records. The system promotes more teamwork and greater staff efficiency." Linda Hall Office Coordinator Pediatrics EncounterPRO User Since 2002
|
"Benefits I have noticed personally included: decreased turnaround time for telephone messages, decreased turnaround time for prescription refills, decreased turnaround time for referrals, improved efficiency of office procedures such as immunizations and tests, decreased time spent at the end of the day returning phone calls, writing refills, and completing charts." William Long MD Pediatrician EncounterPRO User Since 2004
|
"Many pediatricians operate with narrow profit margins. Reducing costs, capturing charges correctly, and increasing the number of encounters can increase profit. If a pediatrician cannot chart a routine otitis media encounter from start to finish in 30 seconds, the EHR will slow him or her down and reduce profit. The EncounterPRO EHR’s workflow engine essentially pushes tasks to users as fast as they can accomplish them. However, pediatric offices accomplish tasks in many different orders, so the workflow definitions can be changed to accommodate a specific pediatric group preference." Michael Blum, DO, Pediatrician EncounterPRO User Since 2004
|
"EncounterPRO has made our workflow very smooth. We see 30-40 patients daily and we are almost always finished with all work by 4:30 in the afternoon. No need to stay late and file charts." Stephen Dentler MD Pediatrician EncounterPRO User Since 2004
|
"In the height of the physical season, from the minute the patient walks in the door for a kindergarten physical, gets all the preliminary screening test (vision, hearing OAE VEP), heights, weights, BP plotting, physical exam blood work and immunizations, we are getting folks out the door in under an hour and that is decreasing. This is unheard of." George Rogu MD Pediatrician, EncounterPRO User Since 2008
