Our Technology
Regular EMRs aren’t designed for babies. That’s why we use PediNotes, a neonatal electronic medical record program and data repository. PediNotes provides support for pediatric subspecialty functions, streamlined communication, and better data configuration, so our caregivers have more time to care for their patients.
Infamedics is also a member of the Vermont Oxford Network, a collaboration dedicated to improving neonatal care around the world with data-driven quality improvement and research.
