PAEDIS

Paediatrics Information System

Paediatric care differs from adult care in ways software usually ignores: the dose depends on today's weight, the schedule depends on the date of birth, and the record has to follow a child who cannot report their own history.

PAEDIS is built around those differences — growth, immunisation and weight-based prescribing — from newborn through adolescence.

What PAEDIS does

Growth monitoring

Weight, height and head circumference plotted against growth standards, so faltering growth is seen and not calculated after the fact.

Immunisation records

The vaccination schedule tracked per child, with due and overdue doses identified for recall.

Weight-based dosing

Doses calculated from the child's current weight, which removes the most common paediatric prescribing error.

Developmental milestones

Milestones recorded at each contact so delay is picked up during routine care.

Paediatric inpatient care

Ward care with paediatric observation ranges rather than adult thresholds applied to children.

Linked to the mother's record

Newborns linked to the maternal record from GYNOBSIS, so care continues from birth rather than starting at first illness.

Who it is for

Paediatric departments, child health clinics, immunisation programmes and health centres providing under-five care.

Common questions

Does it manage routine immunisation programmes?

Yes. Schedules are tracked per child with defaulter lists for recall — the mechanism that determines whether coverage targets are actually met.

Are dose calculations checked?

Doses are calculated from current weight with range checking, and the calculation is shown rather than hidden, so the prescriber can verify it.

Can it be used in a community child health clinic?

Yes. Growth monitoring and immunisation work in a health centre or outreach setting and reconcile with the facility record.

What happens when the child becomes an adult?

The record continues under the same Health ID. Paediatric thresholds stop applying at the configured age, but the history remains available.

Connected to the rest of the ecosystem

Every OPES system shares one patient identity through OPESCare, so a patient moving between departments or facilities keeps one record rather than accumulating several.
