In consideration of the unique scenarios common to pediatric visits, we offer several key customizations:

2. Addressing the complexity of visits that often involve multiple stakeholders, such as family members or guardians. Read more in Seeing Patients with Family Members
3. The system is designed to handle both well-child checkups, immunization tracking, developmental milestones, and routine screenings, as well as referrals and patient consultations.
4. We’ve ensured the documentation of psychosocial and developmental information, which is critical in pediatric care. 
5. Additionally, our system supports extended consultations—up to 2 hours—ensuring accurate and comprehensive documentation, even during lengthy visits.

When I first started using Empathia as a Pediatrician, it had difficulty capturing accurate information for long consultations. Now with the custom templates tailored to each speciality's needs, along with the ability to use AI to make quick edit changes after the note is generated, my consult notes are much better! Ambient charting saves me a lot of time and allows me to spend more quality time face to face with the patient and their family. As I see a lot of patients who speak Cantonese and Mandarin, having Empathia being able to immediately transcribe a note done in a different language into English is pretty amazing. I am certain as the technology continues to evolve, Enpathia will become an indispensable tool in a busy physician's day to day clinical practice.
