PDF guide for paediatricians and paediatric nurses

2 min read·29 September 2026

Paediatricians produce paediatric hospital reports, growth charts, discharge letters, referral letters, and multidisciplinary meeting records. The particular legal position of minors and the complex environment of paediatric medicine require especially careful PDF management.

Merging paediatric records

A paediatric record contains admission reports, growth charts, investigation results (labs, ultrasound, MRI), and treatment plans. Merge all components per admission episode into one PDF. Insert bookmarks per document type for rapid navigation through the electronic patient record.

Archiving growth charts

Growth charts (percentile curves) are completed periodically. Save the growth chart as PDF/A per child per age phase. Merge the charts from multiple measurement moments into one PDF so the paediatrician can assess growth development at a glance.

Securing discharge letters

Discharge letters from the children's hospital contain medical diagnoses, medication schedules, and follow-up appointments for the GP. Protect the letter with edit restrictions. Distributed digital versions are sent only via secure healthcare communication platforms.

Merging MDT meeting records

In complex cases, the multidisciplinary team (MDT) discusses diagnosis and treatment. The meeting record contains contributions from the paediatrician, paediatric neurologist, child psychiatrist, and social worker. Merge all contributions into one PDF per MDT date for the patient record.

Archiving consent forms for minors

Procedures for children under 16 require the signature of both parents or the legal guardian. Archive signed consent forms as PDF/A. Use OCR to make the name, date of birth, and signature date searchable.
