Hi, I?m thinking seriously about using Amazing Charts but I?ve got some questions/problems re: configuration as I try to evaluate for my practice. I?m a solo pediatrician.
Couple of things:
1) I don?t seem to understand how (or if) I can configure immunizations. I?d like to:
a. Add second recommended Meningococcal (MCV-Menactra) at age 16 but system seems to not let me do that?
b. Refine Influenza to be able to clearly specify type to my assistant, ie. Influenza < 3 yrs (of age-killed vaccine) plus Influenza >=3 yrs (of age-killed vaccine)?these two share a VIS. Then add also FluMist (live, attenuated vaccine) with its own VIS. I see where assistant can select the type of influenza vaccine but I?d be more comfortable if my order were more clear?. Is that possible?
2) I would like to default vitals to metric---this is a current AAP/JAHCO recommendation to help avoid medication errors. I see the toggles but can?t figure out how to default to metric?is this possible? Also the height/length toggle is ?inches? and ?METERS?? not ?centimeters?? Is that adjustable ?cause I just got people used to centimeters---I?m never gonna get them to go to meters---infants just don?t do meters well---?
3) Does anyone know if World Health Organization Data (instead of CDC) data can be used for length, weight, and head circumference for infants/toddlers to age 2 yrs as is current CDC/AAP recommendation? ?WHO to Two??
4) Where/how can I store developmental testing done at well visits--specifically I use PEDS-DM at every visit and M-CHAT at 18 mo and 2 yrs?
5) Where is best place to put results of sensory screening--Vision/Hearing including Picture Audiometry?
6) What about Last Menstrual Periods? I can't seem to find a place for that.

Thanks so much for your input and advice! Kathy
