Office Practicum is a robust system, a one-stop source for every solution to the needs of the modern pediatric practice. Each and every feature was, and continues to be, designed and engineered to address the needs of pediatricians in a manner that accounts for the unique aspects of pediatrics, and delivers specific solutions to the unique demands of pediatrics.

- The Electronic Patient chart screen displays pertinent patient information, such as on-going and current problems, current medications and a summary of requirements – alerting the provider to due or past-due vaccines, the date of the most recent visit and examination, an alert to allergies, and recommendations to diet and activity, which can also be printed automatically on school and camp forms.
- All of this key information, and more (including a staff and provider to-do/reminder list), is displayed on one clear screen so information is instantly accessible and easily shared among staff members and providers in the practice.
- The electronic patient chart screen in Office Practicum also displays color photographs of patients, so you can record the growth and development of each patient in a unique and special way.
- This simple but all-inclusive screen is the control center for the provider. From this screen the provider can glean all the necessary and pertinent stored information about each patient in an instant, and access any part of the system in a click of a button, streamlining workflow and enabling you to have tools, data, and the ability to record and perform accurately, efficiently and securely.

- The Office Practicum system allows provider and staff to create a report on virtually any aspect of the practice. For example, should you need to compile a report on all patients under the age of three-years-old who have received a flu shot, Office Practicum can retrieve the information on hundreds of patients instantly and present it in a concise report.
- Furthermore, Office Practicum can store numerous hand-outs and informational leaflets for parents/guardians, and it enables users to create surveys and questionnaires to present to patients for completion while they are in the practice.
- In compliance with HIPAA, Office Practicum also records in a secure “Disclosure-Tracking” audit trail, the date, time, name of provider/staff member, and name of the hand-out as it is printed and presented to each patient/guardian.

- The Office Practicum schedule is an essential and invaluable element of the system. Simply by clicking on a patient name or appointment in the Schedule the provider is instantly presented with the patient chart and access to all of the patient’s information.
- The schedule can display multiple provider’s days simultaneously, and also divide the schedule into a “room view”, or (for large multi-location practices) an "office view", so providers can, in one glance, review progress and activity through out the entire practice.
- Through simple color-coded reference providers and staff can be alerted as to where the patient is, in which room, with whom, and how long he/she may have been waiting.
- The schedule also highlights the patient’s outstanding balances, on-going problems, and due or past-due vaccines.
- Any patient appointment can be 'flagged' for staff/provider attention, (as a reminder, or in the event of pertinent information that needs to be addressed during the visit).
- The Patient Registry, linked directly with the schedule and patient chart, can store limitless numbers of patients.
- Unique to pediatrics, Office Practicum is aware that some children come from large and diverse families, so patient contact information allows you to store and search for a patient under multiple family names, babysitter’s contacts, relatives, siblings, guardians, nicknames, and multiple phone numbers, emails, beepers and all the other common contacts for the modern family.
