👶 Pediatrics

Synalux gives a pediatric practice its scheduling, documents, insurance, and billing, with pediatric staff roles. Parents use the patient portal for their child's appointments, documents, messages, and payments.

Setting up

Choose Pediatrics as the practice type when you create the workspace. It sets the sidebar, the staff roles offered when you invite people, and the order of the tabs in each patient's chart.

Clinical roles: Pediatrician, Nurse Practitioner, and Medical Assistant. The workspace also offers Practice Administrator, Scheduler, Billing Specialist, and Viewer.

Everyday tools

• Scheduling: book appointments, including repeating ones (daily, weekly, every two weeks, or monthly, up to 52 visits). See Scheduling.
• Documents: upload files to the patient's chart.
• Insurance authorizations: record each authorization's units, hours, or visits and dates. Synalux shows how much is used and lists authorizations that end within 14 days.
• Claims: create electronic claims (837P), checked before you send them. See Billing & Payments.
• Patient portal: Parents can request appointments, upload documents, send a message to their provider, and pay a balance by card. See Patient Portal.
• E-signature: send your own consent forms and documents for signature through your practice's BoldSign account, on plans that include e-signature.
• Audit log: reads and changes to clinical records are logged, and the log cannot be edited. Administrators review it on the admin Audit page.

Current limits

• Growth percentiles (CDC or WHO), developmental milestone checklists, and screening questionnaires such as ASQ or Vanderbilt are not available.
• There is no vaccine schedule, overdue-vaccine alert, or registry export.
• Parents cannot see growth charts, immunizations, or vitals in the portal, and cannot fill in forms there.
• The billing-code list offers ABA codes and, in US workspaces, psychological testing codes (96130–96137); well-child and vaccine administration codes are not in it yet.
