Request addition of CDC Extended BMI-for-age growth charts

Our pediatrician asked for the CDC Extended BMI-for-age growth charts to be added to the system. I put in a situation which dev team said was a design change and that I should add this to the dream factory. Please vote for this so that our EMR has the tools needed for current care of pediatrics.

11 y/o male - BMI 95%ile - in 2019 BMI was already 39.6822 which topped out the BMI 2-20 yr set 1 and 2 chart. The new charts the CDC proposed extends the BMI to 58 and provides the provider a percentile

8 y/o male - - BMI 32.22, 99th percentile, unable to plot on current BMI charts. In fact some of the plotted dots sow up in the grid on the top left of the growth chart and are unusable for that reason.

11 y/o female - BMI 35.66, BMI percentile 99 - unable to plot on current BMI growth charts. In fact some of the plotted dots sow up in the grid on the top left of the growth chart and are unusable for that reason.

The addition of the CDC extended BMI age-percentile and Z-Scores would provide the pediatrician the visual info needed to track patients falling outside the current BMI charts
