About Office Practicum
At OP, we know you want to be a champion for your patients. But in order to do that, you need a hassle-free EHR that moves at the speed of kids. The problem is you are tangled in the complexity of running a pediatric practice while trying to navigate a myriad of issues--from staffing shortages and complex billing to keeping your patients current with well visits and vaccines.
We believe it shouldn't be so difficult and time-consuming. We understand the frustrations pediatricians are facing with the push and pull of technology when all you really want to do is spend more time providing great patient care (and getting home in time to eat dinner with your own family). You shouldn't have to sacrifice any of this to manage your business.
OP leverages our pediatric expertise to help you deliver care efficiently while reducing time wasted on redundant and tiresome tasks. We recognize the unique needs of the patients you treat who will benefit from a pediatric-specific EHR with custom features, reports, and templates. In short, we allow you to treat children like children, not “little adults”.
Our EHR complements your workflows and lets you be in complete control of your day. OP offers smooth navigation tools that simplify your patient visits with time-saving pediatric resources placed right at your fingertips – many that you won’t find in other EHRs. These include:
Integrated Bright Futures Well Visit templates
200+ pediatric-specific sick visit templates
Preemie + Down’s Syndrome growth charts
Vaccine management + forecasting
Automated school, sports, and camp forms Comprehensive care plans
Asthma action plans
Mental health tracker
Telemedicine
Educational resources + handouts
Patient Portal
Immunization forecasting
Patient recalls + reports
State + regional immunization registry interfaces
Business Analytics + Dashboards

Pros
Simply the best and most comprehensive features available anywhere, OP comes loaded with over 200 pediatric-specific "sick visit' templates, immunization forecasting, electronic school and camp forms along with pediatric developmental assessments, surveys and disease-specific action plans.
I've used OP for 16 years, and can say with confidence that it is designed specifically for pediatrics , with tools pediatricians need to both keep kids healthy and improve quality of care."
Cons
Hands down the best of the best for pediatric offices. OP is so user friendly and works around your practice.

Well Thought Out EMR
Overall, Office Practicum works great for our office. We have been able to streamline our clinical and office processes and actively engage our patients. This has resulted in increased visits to our office which definitely affects the bottom line. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] actively engages OP users and helps us with industry questions and updates to OP. The Managers ListServ has also been a wealth of information and finally OP has one of the best customer service teams I have worked with. They are knowledgeable, easy to reach and can resolve questions/solve problems in one contact. I enjoy working with this product, and know you will too!
Pros
This EMR is very user friendly and helped us streamline our work processes. The layout is very easy to navigate and like everything from the charting to the billing functions, including the clearinghouse and patient bill pay to the the referral process, the integrated lab and immunization registry capabilities and the ability to engage our patients/parents in their care via the Patient Portal. I also really like the vaccine management capabilities. This has helped us manage our vaccine inventory. I love the robust reporting capabilities and the ability to do appointment recalls. Everything is pretty seamless and helps us focus on patient care and engaging our patients.
Cons
The thing I liked least which I imagine is the case with most EMRs, is the inability to be able to communicate electronically with other providers who do not have a Direct e-mail address.
Reasons for Choosing Office Practicum
Needed more functionality and liked that Office Practicum was Pediatric Specific and had a well thought out product with great featuresReasons for Switching to Office Practicum
It was Pediatric specific and we liked the functionality and the layout better and that it included functionality that would help us document and meet Meaningful Use.

Perfect for those who are entranced with fussing with bells and whistles
While my own program was 90% designed to be useful and friendly for me, and 10% useful for outsiders, I realized that OP was designed to be 1/3 useful to me, 1/3 useful to the bean counters, and 1/3 useful to lawyers and government statisticians., and consequently, it is simply not very user friendly.
When there is a complex issue to be documented in the medical record, I elect not to try to use a template, but rather sit down at my desk and use Dragon Naturally Speaking to write a lengthy text note describing what is really important for my patient. I use a generic lab requisition for the several labs to which I may send patients, and I use the X-ray requisitions provided by the several radiology groups when I need imaging rather than trying to use the requisitions internal to OP. It is simpler and faster.
Pros
When I first purchased a license for an older version, I noted that the pediatrician/originator was married to the designer/programmer, and having engaged in an emr design process years earlier assumed that there would be a logical, fluid flow to the program. It was OK, but not close to what I had designed years before for myself. As I became more aware of the short-comings and complexity of an emr that would fulfill the fed's meaningful use criteria, I became frustrated. Well child templates for younger kids do work well, but data entry for anything not routine is cumbersome.
Cons
The program in its many subsequent iterations, tweaks and upgrades has become gratuitously complex and fussy with rather erratic logical flow, non-ergonomic positioning of buttons that could/should have been effectively arranged and color coded, unnecessary shifting of positions and redesigns of working fields and enough ongoing problems to require such frequent calls to OP help that we are now on a first name basis.

Great product, still evolving and working on new issues
It has been good, the set up was hard, but all set ups are hard. They keep improving the product all the time. Their customer support people are top notch and the most friendly helpful group I have worked with in a long time.
Pros
The abiblity to pull care plans that have outstanding patients due
Cons
Sometime too many clicks to do simple things

BILLING MANAGER
THE SOFTWARE IS VERY USER FRIENDLY BUT OF EVEN GREATER IMPORTENCE IS THE STAFF. THEY ARE ALWAYS FRIENDLY, AMAZINGLY CAPABLE & READY TO HELP! THAT IF OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ME WITH ANY COMPANY/PERSON WITH WHOM I DEAL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND OFFICE PRACTICUM TO ANY MEDICAL PRACTICE LOOKING FOR A USER FRIENDLY SYSTEM THAT IS EASY TO CONVERT (OP HANDLED THAT, AS WELL!), FEATURES ARE VERY WELL LAID OUT & AN ALWAYS-AT-THE-READY CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT!
Pros
REPORTS ARE EXCELLENT & ALWAYS EVOLVING-THE IMPLEMENTATION TEAM ACTUALLY LISTENS & TAKES STOCK IN USERS CONCERNS & NEEDS & WILL WORK TO IMPROVE THE FEATURE! ALL REPS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY WELL TRAINED & CAN USUSALLY SOLVE ANY ISSUE WITH JUST A PHONE CALL! THEY TAKE THE TIME TO ACCESS THE SYSTEM THRU A BUILT-IN PORTAL TO SEE THE PROBLEM WE'RE HAVING & SHOW US HOW TO FIX! OP HAS CUSTOMIZED SO MANY FEATURES SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR PRACTICE & THAT MAKES INCOME INCREASE! ALWAYS THE BOTTOM LINE!
Cons
COULD CONTAIN A BETTER ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. WHILE IT IS EASY TO ENTER CHARGES & POST INSURANCE & PATIENT PAYMENTS IT IS NOT QUICK BOOKS!! THE DATA IS ALWAYS THERE & CORRECT BUT SOMETIMES THE METHODS ARE 'CLUNKY'. YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
