Technology

At Northampton Area Pediatrics we stay at the forefront of medical technology in order to better serve you and your children. We have had an electronic medical record (EMR) since 1999, long before this became the standard of care. An EMR helps us maintain a database of information about your child and allows all of the providers to have access to this information. For example, if you call in after hours for advice, the on call doctor can access your records from home. Also, if your child needs care at the emergency department at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, we are able to access this information and then share it with the ED doctors no matter what time of day it is.

We also use computer tablets. You will see the nurses, doctors and scribes carrying tablets around the office. This allows us to access your records and the internet no matter where we are in the office.
