Our Story

Steve Spedale, MD, FAAP, is the director of neonatology for one of the country’s largest women’s hospitals. As an early adopter of electronic medical records in the NICU, Spedale recognized the need for improved technology not provided by MEDITECH of the other available EMRs. With that in mind, he began developing software add-ons independently to give him the tools he needed.

In 2011, Dr. Spedale realized his ideas could benefit other doctors and caregivers who needed better information sharing, so he built a development team to execute them. Together, they created PediNotes.

The healthcare technology received its first certification for meaningful use in 2013. PediNotes is anchored by the principle that once data is obtained, it should be readily available to anyone on the care team responsible for the patient. Focusing on the end user’s experience to maximize efficiency, PediNotes provides an intuitive approach and workflow that helps you take better care of your patients.
