Pediatric Age
The configuration in the Pediatric Age section applies to the Pediatrics specialty.
The Pediatric Age section enables you to define the age limits of pediatrics in the Peds Navigation Age field. The patients older than the age defined in the Peds Navigation Age field are considered as the adult patients. For the patients equal to or lesser than the Peds Navigation Age, the system opens the templates specific for the pediatrics patient in run time. You can also define age in the Peds Physical Exam Age field to assign the PE normals for pediatrics using the template defaults.
If you select the Use SWYC developmental screening check box, the SWYC developmental milestones templates open when you click Developmental History in the History Summary panel on the SOAP template.
The Use SWYC developmental screening check box is shared on the Peds Development Definitions template. When you select the Use SWYC developmental screening check box, all the development milestones configurable fields on the Peds Development Definitions template are hidden, indicating that the SWYC developmental milestones are not configurable.
You can click the icon to view information on the Use SWYC developmental screening check box.
