I was wondering if anyone will be participating in the prop 56 Developmental screening, if so what screening Tool are you using inside EMR? We currently have "Peds Development" template but this template really does nothing. Thank you

In New York State, we are working toward similar goals when it comes to developmental screenings. Ours is pushing toward the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (with Social and Emotional). The problem, as I understand it, is that with the Ages and Stages, the material is copyrighted. So, if you wanted to make these forms in EMR yourself, you would have to pay for the copyright. It would be nice if they were considered a basic part of Centricity and included for all pediatric providers as this does seem to be the future of pediatric well care for pre-school aged children. I do know that some "other" EMRs have paid the copyright fee to make it available to all of their clients.
We have not implemented this yet in our practice, but the Ages and Stages Questionnaires are wonderful. I think what will happen is that we will end up purchasing the questionnaires and scanning the completed ones into the system. Not very efficient for the "paperless" world we were all promised when we adopted EMRs! =)

Thank you for responding. I completely agree with you in this supposedly easy EMR paperless world, it seems like more paper, more clicks, and less support.
