# Pediatrics Module
ClinIT's paediatrics module covers growth monitoring, national vaccination scheduling, developmental milestone tracking, and neonatal tools.

Growth Monitoring
### Recording a Growth Measurement
In any session for a paediatric patient:
- The session vitals panel auto-includes Height and Weight fields.
- These are saved as a
GrowthRecordlinked to the patient and the visit date.
### Growth Chart Visualization
From Patient Chart → Growth:
- Weight-for-age, Height-for-age, Weight-for-height, BMI-for-age charts.
- WHO (recommended) or CDC reference curves — selectable per patient.
- Each measurement appears as a plotted point.
- Z-scores and percentile bands are displayed.
The AI Paeds Growth Interpreter generates a narrative analysis of the child's growth trajectory, flagging faltering growth or obesity trends.

Vaccination Management
### Vaccine Schedule
- Patient chart → Vaccinations → Schedule.
- ClinIT displays the recommended national vaccination schedule based on the patient's date of birth.
- Each due vaccine shows a status:
- DUE — due today or overdue.
- UPCOMING — due within 4 weeks.
- GIVEN — administered (with date, batch, site).
- DECLINED — parents declined (recorded with reason).
### Administering a Vaccine
During a Session:
- In the session screen, click + Session Vaccines.
- Select the vaccine from inventory (lot number auto-fills from stock).
- Confirm site of administration and dose number.
- Click Administer — stock is automatically deducted.
From the Patient Chart:
- Vaccinations → + Record Vaccine.
- Fill in all fields manually.
### Vaccine Inventory
Manage vaccine stock under Inventory → Vaccines:
- Receive new vaccine lots with expiry dates and quantities.
- See real-time stock levels.
- Finance integration: vaccine retail price tracked for invoicing.

Developmental Milestones
For infants and toddlers, track developmental milestones at well-child visits.
- Patient chart → Milestones → + Assessment.
- ClinIT presents age-appropriate milestones across 4 domains:
- Gross Motor (e.g. rolls over at 4 months, walks at 12 months)
- Fine Motor (e.g. pincer grasp at 9 months)
- Language (e.g. says "mama/dada" at 9 months)
- Social / Emotional (e.g. social smile at 6 weeks)
- Mark each milestone as ✅ Achieved, ⏳ Emerging, or ❌ Not yet.
- Add clinical notes.
### Developmental Delay Flags
If ≥2 milestones are marked ❌ in any domain, a Developmental Concern alert appears on the patient banner, prompting formal developmental screening (M-CHAT, ASQ).

Neonatal Tools
For the neonatal period (0–28 days):
- Birth Record — gestational age, birth weight, delivery mode, Apgar scores, NICU stay.
- Neonatal Bilirubin — serial bilirubin readings with Bhutani nomogram plotting (plot against gestational age in hours to assess phototherapy need).
- Feeding Plans — breast / formula / mixed; feeding frequency and volumes.
- Neonatal Daily Log — weight, jaundice score, feeding, urine/stool output.

Nutrition Notes
Record dietary assessments and nutrition counselling notes per visit. Includes food recall, caloric estimate, and dietitian referral flag.
