AI-Powered Pediatrics EHR: Chart Faster. Stay Compliant. Never Miss a Vaccine or Screening.

Althea Smart EHR includes a fully automated CDC/ACIP immunization schedule that surfaces due, overdue, and catch-up vaccine alerts at every patient visit, based on the child’s age and vaccination history. Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) documentation is recorded automatically. Bidirectional integration with all 50 state immunization registries (IIS) submits administered vaccines and retrieves prior vaccination histories in real time, no duplicate entry, no manual registry login.

Althea Smart EHR automatically plots height, weight, BMI, and head circumference on CDC growth curves at every well-child visit, with percentile calculations built in. Growth data is graphed longitudinally within the patient chart so you can see trends across visits over years without any manual charting. No separate tool required.

Yes, Althea Smart EHR includes purpose-built well-child visit templates for every AAP-recommended preventive visit, from the newborn exam through the 18-year-old preventive visit. Templates include age-appropriate developmental surveillance, anticipatory guidance checklists, screening tool prompts (M-CHAT, ASQ, PHQ-A, CRAFFT), and immunization review, structured to guide you through every required element quickly and completely.

Althea Smart EHR includes structured ADHD workflows, Vanderbilt Assessment Scales integrated at the appropriate visits, stimulant medication titration logs, behavioral tracking over time, school accommodation documentation, and DEA-compliant EPCS for controlled substance prescribing. The platform also supports CRAFFT adolescent substance use screening and PHQ-A adolescent depression screening built into age-appropriate visit templates.

Althea Smart EHR’s AI Ambient Charting listens during the patient-family encounter, including conversations with parents and guardians, identifies the visit type (well-child, sick visit, immunization-only, ADHD follow-up) and generates the appropriate structured note in real time. Most notes are complete before the family leaves the room, including developmental assessment, anticipatory guidance, and immunization review sections.

Althea Smart EHR includes a built-in pediatric weight-based dosing calculator that automatically suggests mg/kg doses for antibiotics, analgesics, and other pediatric medications based on the patient’s current weight. Pediatric-specific drug interaction alerts are calibrated for children across all age groups, newborn through adolescent, reducing dosing errors and speeding up prescribing at every visit.

Althea Smart EHR’s AI Billing Assistant automatically selects the correct age-range preventive visit CPT code (99381–99385 for new patients, 99391–99395 for established patients) at every well-child encounter. It also captures vaccine administration codes (90460, 90461 with counseling units), developmental screening add-on codes (96110), and applies Modifier -25 automatically when a sick problem is addressed at the same visit as a well-child exam, a frequently missed revenue opportunity in pediatric practices.

Every vaccine administered generates automatic CPT code selection, including the correct number of counseling units under CPT 90460 and 90461 (for physician-administered vaccines with counseling) or 90471/90472. VFC (Vaccines for Children) and private stock are tracked separately with lot numbers and expiration dates. No administration code is ever missed because the billing follows the clinical workflow automatically.

Althea Smart EHR includes a built-in HEDIS Pediatric Quality Dashboard tracking the most important pediatric measures, Childhood Immunization Status (CIS), Well-Child Visits (W15, W34, AWC), Developmental Screening, Weight Assessment and Counseling (WCC), and Lead Screening. The dashboard shows performance at both the patient and panel level, with care gap alerts surfaced at the point of care to close gaps before the measurement period ends.

Althea Smart EHR includes HIPAA-compliant two-way SMS messaging with parents and guardians, a family-facing patient portal with access to immunization records and growth charts, automated appointment reminders and no-show follow-up, immunization recall campaigns, and built-in telemedicine for follow-up visits. The AI Receptionist handles scheduling 24/7, including after-hours appointment requests and sick visit triage messages, without staff involvement.

Althea Smart EHR’s AI Billing Assistant confirms the correct complexity level at every sick visit encounter, ensuring visits are documented and billed at the appropriate E&M level (99213, 99214, 99215), and flagging under-coded visits before claim submission. For same-day sick + well visits, Modifier -25 is applied automatically so both codes are captured.

Althea Smart EHR includes a built-in MIPS Dashboard, pediatric HEDIS measure tracking, CIS, W15, developmental screening, WCC, a panel-wide Quality Dashboard, and QRDA reporting for compliant CMS quality measure submissions, directly impacting reimbursement in value-based contracts.
