Pediatric Scores
Our Full Review
PCC has quietly built one of the most dedicated followings in pediatric technology, and spending time with the platform reveals why. The company serves only pediatric and family medicine practices, and this focus permeates the product. Charting workflows feel natural for pediatric encounters, and the system's approach to well-child visits balances thoroughness with efficiency in a way that respects the physician's time.
The growth chart module is a highlight, rendering clean and readable charts that pediatricians actually enjoy reviewing. PCC supports customizable percentile displays and allows providers to annotate charts with clinical notes directly on the growth curve, which is particularly useful when discussing growth concerns with parents during visits. Immunization tracking is strong, with forecasting that handles the standard schedules reliably, though complex catch-up scenarios occasionally require manual adjustment.
PCC's developmental screening integration works well with common tools like the ASQ and M-CHAT, automating scoring and incorporating results directly into the visit note. The system also offers decent school form generation, though the template library is not as extensive as what Office Practicum provides. Where PCC struggles is in the same areas as OP: the absence of AI-powered documentation tools, a parent portal that handles basic functions but lacks intelligent message routing, and limited automation for the operational challenges that define modern pediatric practice.
The company's customer support has an excellent reputation among its users, with many practices citing the responsive and knowledgeable support team as a primary reason for their loyalty. For independent pediatric practices that value a close vendor relationship and solid charting fundamentals, PCC remains a worthy contender, even as newer platforms like Hero EMR push the boundaries of what an EMR can do.
