Pediatrics Dynamic Parameters
The dynamic HPI templates for the Pediatrics subspecialties have both generic and distinct sections available for documentation. Generic sections are common to all reasons for visit and distinct sections are specific to each reason. A combination of these sections allow for the complete documentation of the patient's reason for visit on the current encounter.
The following table defines the generic sections that appear for all Pediatric subspecialties.
