Over the years, family-centered care in the field of pediatrics has become more prevalent and has improved the patient experience. Recent innovations within electronic health records (EHR), such as patient portals, have provided a more “patient-centered” approach by allowing patients to be interactive with the EHR and have greater agency of their own healthcare. There are also ample opportunities within an EHR to improve the patient experience with delivery of family-centered care. In this perspective, we discuss the design and use of a family-centered EHR for the purposes of optimizing the pediatric patient experience.
