The guys from DrChrono have come a long way since we saw them first just last summer. They have a SaaS based practice management system, but at Health 2.0 at the Doctor’s Office they introduced an iPad-based tool for physicians. Here’s a quick video I took of them last month, with a live fake demo of what it might look like in a real encounter between a real doctor, and a fake patient.

  1. I like the idea of using the IPad rather than a cumbersome tablet or laptop. Giving away a free Ipad is an ingenius idea to help sell the product as well. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your humor as well.

  2. This is great technology, and no doubt a potential resource for referencing evidence-based treatment and diagnostic protocols at the point of care. Please see my latest article on this issue.

    I am a user of dr. Chrono and I think they are terrible items do not stay in the system constantly saying failed to connect to server and it is not the Internet. There are so many issues with this EMR I cannot list them all. I have to use paper along with the iPad because I never know if there system will kick it out and it will not be saved. Dr chrono will state we have had payments and post them as paid when actually we have not. Contiually things have to be double and triple checked. The only positive is the iPad but when you have a crappy EMR it makes the iPad seem crappy too. The only thing I see michael nusimow doing is giving himself props and posting a bunch of B.S instead of fixing the problems with his EMR and they are not a certified
    EMR company..

    Dr Chrono has the right idea, but I have tried to use for several months and they aren’t anywhere near functionally useable. They will likely fail unless they step back and Fix the multitude of problems that seem to worsen by the day with this program. Examples include frequent crashes, freezes, lost data, buttons that don’t respond, unreadable mixed up notes and on and on. The positive press is only coming from their company and not really their users. It is the right concept and what doctors are waiting for but very poorly executed.
