Pediatrics
When a member sets their specialty to Pediatrics, HM Praxis adds a Growth item to the navigation. Growth turns the values you record at well-child visits into clear trend charts, so you can follow a child's development over time at a glance.
Growth appears as soon as your specialty is Pediatrics. The specialty is a per-clinician choice you make in the Setup Wizard or in Settings → Profile; see the Specialties guide.
The Growth View
Pick a patient and Growth shows trend charts over time for:
- Weight (kg)
- Height (cm)
- Head circumference (cm)
Each chart is read directly from the patient's structured pediatric record entries, so the trend always reflects exactly what you have recorded.
Trend Lines, Not Percentile Curves
To be clear about what Growth is: these are trend lines of the values you recorded. They are not WHO or CDC percentile growth curves - there are no percentile bands and no z-scores.
Growth helps you see direction and rate of change over time. If you need percentile or z-score interpretation, use it alongside your standard growth reference, not in place of one.
The Pediatric Record Template
The values that drive the Growth charts come from the pediatric record template, which captures:
- Weight
- Height
- Head circumference
- Milestones
- Immunizations
Record a visit with this template and the weight, height, and head-circumference values flow straight into the Growth view. See Medical Records for how structured templates work.
