Re: ages and stages/developmental screening

I have used Ages & Stages in the past, and it's

great, if a bit too

time-consuming for most settings. But it's too expensive for a

micropractice. You have to buy each age individually. The fact that

you can then copy freely is great for a large practice, but not so

much for a small one.

I pulled screening questions from multiple sources and have them by

age in my EMR.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm still paper. I use Bright Future progress notes, see about 80% pedes, helps a lot. How Illinois Medicaid is soon going to require providers to implement "some type" of standardized developmental screening tool, one screen for each year from age 0-3. So in total, 3 screens. I will likely do them at age 9m, 18m, and 36m visits. Based on my research, the PEDS (Parents Evaluation of Developmental Status) is a good one (http://pedstest.com/index.php). It's quick to do for parents and easy to score and accepted as a means of screening. I actually get reimbursed a little bit for it too. Thanks again!From:

This is a link to the Bright Futures encounter forms used in Maine -

they are .doc documents so you can doctor them as you see

fit. http://www.maine. gov/bms/provider files/bright_ future.htm

PEDS is also available for this purpose. It's much quicker and shorter.Subject: Re: ages and stages/developmental screeningTo: Date: Saturday, November 8, 2008, 9:49 PM

We are about to buy the Ages & Stages Questionnaire. It looks like

it's $199 for all ages (4 mos - 5 yrs). Our plan is to mail or email

it to the parents a week before the visit.
