    The Pediatric Standard Profile transforms the pediatric care experience by replacing outdated, clinic-specific tools with one universal, free-to-use form.

     

    Say goodbye to mountains of paperwork and hello to smarter healthcare for your child. The Pediatric Profile is a convenient fillable PDF form that replaces outdated, clinic-specific intake forms with a standardized, comprehensive approach to gathering medical history and vital information. This means quicker appointments, fewer missed steps, and ultimately, better care.

    Our Goal for Parents and Caregivers

    Save time and reduce stress

    Fill out the Pediatric Profile once and share it with any service provider, minimizing repetitive paperwork.

     

    Ensure completeness and accuracy 

    The form's comprehensive design prompts you for all the key details, reducing the risk of missing important information.

     

    Improve care coordination

    With standardized data across providers, transitions between specialists and follow-up care become seamless.

  • why standardize intake?

     

    The Pediatric Profile provides a simple solution to a problem impacting millions of parents and caregivers.

     

    Raising a child with special healthcare needs often requires multiple services, creating a complex network for families to manage. Intake processes for these services use repetitive forms and interviews, which further burden overwhelmed parents.

     

    Between caregiving and other responsibilities, parents have little time to complete paperwork, organize information, and keep service providers connected.

    Parents must complete onboarding for each new provider, repeatedly submitting the same information in different formats.

    Confusion icon

    poor design

    Forms are often difficult to use, lack instructions, request extraneous information, or all of the above.

  • our vision:

    one form for every need

    We imagine a future where every practice, clinic, specialist, and service uses one universal standard for pediatric intake and care coordination, eliminating redundant paperwork and ensuring complete, accurate information is readily available.

    We aim to create a connected network of care where transitions between providers are effortless, diagnoses are expedited, and children receive the most coordinated and effective treatment possible. By empowering parents and providers alike, we envision a brighter future for pediatric healthcare, where knowledge is shared, care is coordinated, and every child thrives.

    A simple step can make a world of difference

    Getting care can be a struggle for children with special healthcare needs.

     

    These families are 6 times more likely to encounter frustration in accessing services, 3 times more likely to not receive needed care coordination, and 4 times more likely to forgo healthcare compared to families of children without special healthcare needs (2). Some caregivers even delay seeking services simply because of the administrative burden.

     

    With the simple step of adopting the Pediatric Profile, providers can make obtaining services more efficient and accessible, decreasing the burden on caregivers and enhancing outcomes for millions of children. The Pediatric Profile makes collecting the info you need easy with less stress.
