DrChrono

Mobile-first EHR platform for modern practices

Overview

DrChrono was one of the first EHRs built natively for the iPad, and that heritage still defines it. If you picture yourself moving between exam rooms with a tablet instead of returning to a desktop, this is the platform that was designed for that picture. The form and template builder is unusually flexible, which makes DrChrono popular with specialists who need documentation shaped around their own workflows, and the open API attracts practices that want to connect their own tools. Billing and support are decent rather than exceptional, and practices that never chart away from a desk will not get full value from its strengths. For the right practice, though, the mobility is the whole point.

Where It Shines

  • The strongest iPad and tablet workflow around
  • Deep template customization for specialists
  • Open API for practices that like to tinker

Worth Weighing

  • Support gets mixed reviews
  • Billing is workable but not a standout
  • Less compelling if you only chart at a desk
