Via Software Platform That Provides Point-of-Care Support For Clinicians

NEW YORK, NY – (May 21, 2021) – PM Pediatrics, the nation’s leader in specialized pediatric urgent care, is expanding its collaboration with avoMD, an app-driven software platform for next-gen clinical guidelines and decision support, to further improve the way PM Pediatrics’ clinicians access, learn, and use the company’s evidence-based clinical care guidelines.

In Fall 2020, the two parties partnered to digitize a subset of PM Pediatrics’ clinical guidelines into highly usable and interactive formats available via the avoMD mobile app. Now, the expanded collaboration includes the following initiatives:

• PM Pediatrics will upload the entirety of its clinical guidelines onto the avoMD platform.
• Providers will be able to access avoMD on the web and via the electronic health record system, in addition to the mobile app
