Unveiling at Engage 2025
Office Practicum, a leader in pediatric healthcare technology, revealed a range of innovative patient engagement solutions at its annual user conference, Engage.

Transforming Patient Experiences
At Office Practicum, innovation is a core value aimed at delivering tangible benefits to pediatric practices. Gretch Ellis, the Chief Product Officer, highlighted how the latest advancements in patient engagement are instrumental in reducing administrative challenges, allowing healthcare providers to prioritize patient care.
Enhancing Efficiency with Patient Check-In
The Patient Check-In system revolutionizes the traditional waiting room experience by digitizing processes. It enables parents to review demographic data, confirm insurance details, upload new insurance cards, and settle balances remotely. This improvement allows families to complete necessary paperwork and surveys ahead of visits, effectively minimizing congestion in waiting rooms, enhancing staff productivity, and streamlining revenue cycles.
Testimonials from Pediatric Leaders
Kateri Haskett, CEO of a prominent pediatric practice, expressed admiration for Office Practicum's recent enhancements. The new functionalities are thoughtfully designed to adapt to rapid changes in technology, significantly streamlining workflows and allowing practices to focus resources where they are needed most.
Self-Scheduling to Boost Satisfaction
The Self-Scheduling feature allows parents to book their appointments through the OP Patient Portal whenever they need, resulting in increased patient satisfaction. It not only reduces no-show rates but also helps alleviate the workload on staff, signifying a significant improvement in operational efficiency.
Parent Engagement Through Technology
Highlighting user experience, Ellis shared a parent's perspective about the system: 'Being able to manage everything from my phone — check-ins, forms, and surveys — at my convenience is invaluable. It minimizes stress and saves precious time.' This feedback underscores the benefits of embracing modern technology to enhance patient interaction.
Advancements in Opie AI
