Generating Pediatric Growth Charts

NextGen® Enterprise EHR enables you to generate age-based growth charts. Percentiles on a growth chart are used to compare a pediatric patient to other children of the same gender and age. The percentiles are shown as lines drawn in curved patterns. In addition to standard growth charts, specialized growth charts are available for Turner syndrome, Down syndrome, and premature patients. You can generate growth charts from NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine or NextGen® Enterprise EHR custom templates. You can also select a growth chart type from the NextGen® Enterprise EHR File menu for a specific NextGen® Enterprise EHR custom or NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine template. After you generate a growth chart, you can adjust the plot, customize the display, and save and print the graph. To begin using growth charts, you must have a patient open in NextGen® Enterprise EHR. For detailed instructions on working with locations, providers, patients, and encounters in NextGen® Enterprise EHR, go to
