CASE STUDY: THE MOBILE EHR
CASE STUDY: THE MOBILE EHR
Dr. Christine Stewart
Chiropractor, Wilderness Family Chiropractic | Locust Grove, VA
“DrChrono’s EHR application on the iPad is fast,
easy to learn and gives me and my staff more
time to focus on the patients and their needs.
Being paperless has enabled me to be more
organized and effective - it is exactly what
I had been looking for and I’d recommend
it to anyone!
”
Practice Background
Dr. Christine Stewart always wanted to
have a positive impact in the health field.
A few of her friends in college planned to
attend chiropractic school for the rewarding
experience and she decided to do the same.
With a desire to provide a greater quality
of care, she treats her patients with an
encouraging outlook; helping them through
their pain to achieve better health.
In the Office
Dr. Stewart was attempting to make the switch
to a paperless electronic health record, one
compatible with an iPad, and stumbled upon
DrChrono. With a cloud-based server, Dr.
Stewart can easily access patient data on her
iPad at both her office locations through one
secure platform.
Operational Efficiency
Since using DrChrono, Dr. Stewart has been
able to spend less time charting and more
time with her patients. With improved charting
methods, Dr. Stewart finds herself completing
her notes during the time of care and does not have to do them later. During her
appointments she can easily collect patient
data in her customized template and then use
macro buttons to create a comprehensive
note on the iPad… all without turning her back
on the patient.
In addition, with DrChrono’s medical billing
software, Dr. Stewart provides her patients
with an easy to understand statement as they
leave her office - which supports her
practice in recovering receivables faster and
more efficiently
