Child Growth Charting (WHO Standard)

If you wish to chart child growth within treatment notes, PracticeQ has a question type that allows you to do so. 

• The WHO growth chart tracks the growth of children from 0 to 2 years, based on the World Health Organization standard. 
• There are two chart types: one tracks weight and length, and the other tracks weight only.

Add a Growth Chart Question

1. Click My Forms and scroll down to the Note Templates section.
2. Add a new template or open an existing one.
3. Click + Add New Question.
4. Select Growth Chart as the Question Type.
5. You will have the options to add Question text, select the Chart Type, and denote if you want to use the metric system.

Now when you add the treatment note to a client and start filling it in, you will be able to chart a child's growth as shown below.

Note: The chart age range will start at 0-6 months, and automatically expand to 0-2 years based on the age of the baby.

Gender Selection

• When you begin to chart plot points on the graph, set the gender of the graph; this impacts the curve. 
• This field will default to the gender of the client you are adding the note to, but can be changed for each graph you add. 
• This option appears below the Add Row button, but only after the first entry is charted.
• The male chart shows in blue, the female chart shows in pink.
