The innovation was made possible after Altera Digital Health, a provider of EPR solutions in the UK, has formed a new partnership with PC PAL to enhance paediatric care within its Sunrise EPR system

Through the integration of GrowthXP, PC PAL's paediatric growth charting application, Sunrise users in the UK can access an augmented depth of data to support accurate growth monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

Dr Shehriyar Khan, clinical information officer for women, children and sexual health at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, said: ‘The transition from paper-based to digital growth charts has revolutionised the way healthcare professionals at MTW track and monitor growth.

‘Replacing traditional paper-based charts with fully digitised charts has improved accuracy, accessibility, and standardisation, enabling our healthcare teams to make more informed decisions and provide better care.

‘There has been overwhelmingly positive feedback from users after transitioning to the digital growth charts, leading to improved efficiency and productivity in the clinical environment.'
