Growth Chart Generation from NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine

NextGen® Enterprise EHR enables you to record a pediatric patient's body measurements and graph growth charts from them using NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine pediatric templates. The growth chart uses template data from all of the patient's encounters. You can generate a selected type of growth chart from the Record Vital Signs template or a set of up to four growth charts at a time from the Pediatric Vital Signs template. The growth chart graphs are based on the type and age of the patient and the measurements provided. You can also generate growth charts from a NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine template by using File menu commands in NextGen® Enterprise EHR. You can graph BMI, height, weight, head circumference, and weight versus length. For more information on using NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine for pediatric patients, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the Pediatrics User Guide for NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine.
