The Pros of Using DrChrono EHR Software

Intuitive Interface

DrChrono EHR Software is notoriously easy to use. With an intuitive interface, it makes clinical documentation easy as pie. Even patients find it easy to navigate when scheduling appointments, operating the patient portal, or renewing their prescriptions.

Affordable Pricing

Though DrChrono does not disclose its pricing plan on its website, you can get a quote from a sales representative. However, according to several reviews online, the starting price is around $199 per month. Because each plan is tailored for clients prices can vary. Incidentally, they provide a free demo and a 30-day free trial.

All-In-One

DrChrono is an all-in-one cloud-based EHR. It combines electronic medical records (EMR), patient management, and billing to enable optimal efficiency.

Electronic Prescribing

Seamlessly integrated with labs and pharmacies, DrChrono EHR Software makes electronic prescribing an easy process. Instead of taking time out to visit doctors for a simple prescription refill, patients can simply get their direct e-prescriptions available for pick up at the pharmacy.

Speech-To-Text

The innovative speech-to-text feature puts DrChrono at the leading edge of electronic healthcare records software. Instead of typing clinical documentation, or putting them through click fatigue, doctors can opt for speech-to-text and simply speak their findings. DrChrono records their speech as a text for seamless documentation.

Mobile Capabilities

Like any good cloud-based EHR, DrChrono is available on mobiles and tablets. This allows practitioners to provide remote telehealth to their patients anywhere and everywhere.

 

 

Points to Consider Before Purchase

Depending on which plan you choose, DrChrono limits the number of text and phone appointment reminders you can send each month. An extra per-reminder charge kicks in after the limit has been crossed.
