Before you begin
Make sure that you have set up
Graphing preferences that correspond to the template and field values that data are graphed from.
To generate a specialty growth chart, set up the applicable preference for Gestational Age (premature patients), Down Syndrome Indicator, or Turner Syndrome Indicator. To graph a growth chart using a measurement date instead of an encounter date, enter the Measurement Date Column preference. You can also set up preferences to Print Patient Name, Print Patient Date of Birth, and Print Chart Print Time on the generated growth chart.
- Open the pediatric patient's history in NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
- From the File menu, select Graph, Growth Charts.
- Select one of the following:
- BMI
- Height
- Weight
- Head Circum
- Weight for Length
NextGen® Enterprise EHR plots the graph for the selected growth chart using template data from all of the patient's encounters.
- Right-click the graph to display a menu, with options to select other available plots, print the growth chart, add a citation, or change the display.
Note: You cannot save the generated growth chart.
- When you are done, right-click the graph, and then select Close.
