Pediatric Health IT Certification
The Drummond Pediatric Health IT Certification Program complements and expands upon existing pediatric health IT work, including the ONC 10 recommendations (part of the ONC 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule), the 2015 Agency for Healthcare Research (AHRQ) Children’s EHR Format 2015 Priority List, and HL7 Pediatric Care Health IT Functional Profile R2.1, as well as incorporating features requested by pediatric clinicians and key stakeholders to improve the health outcomes of children.
Improving the Health Outcomes of Children One Certification at a Time
To develop the technical testing requirements for the Pediatric Health IT Certification Program, Drummond partnered with an expert advisory panel composed of pediatric clinicians and leaders in pediatric healthcare IT. Some of the pediatric specific functionality that will be tested and certified includes well-child visits based on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)’s Bright Futures recommendations, weight-based dosing, newborn screening and pediatric care team coordination. These requirements were also reviewed and included in the HL7 Pediatric Child Health IT Functional Profile (PCHIT FP) published in 2022 to update pediatric functionality for EHRs.

ONC prerequisites
Drummond’s Pediatric Health IT Certification Program includes ONC program prerequisites, explained in our FAQ. Participants who are not currently certified to any of the prerequisites can still enroll in the Pediatric Health IT Certification Program but must complete certification of the separate ONC criteria before receiving a Drummond Pediatric Health IT Certification (ONC prerequisites can be worked on in parallel to Pediatric Health IT Certification).
Baseline tracks
There are two baseline tracks which are on a pass/fail basis for the ambulatory setting and the inpatient setting.
Advanced achievements
Advanced achievements are graded on the number of tests passed to provide solution providers with market differentiation for robust pediatric functionality beyond the baseline requirements.
