Am I right that the meat of this product is a back-end web application, rather than an iPad App? Anyone know if the web service may have existed as a fully fledged EHR business prior to the mobile app being created?
- rdl 15y agoI don't think this is really right for Dr Chrono -- they're very iPad focused, although there is a lot of hidden complexity on the server side. There are plenty of free EHRs and SaaS EHRs which are web based -- Practice Fusion (Salesforce) is the big SaaS one, and . They all kind of suck from a UI/UX perspective. The big EHRs are really mostly proprietary (e.g. the Vista system used mainly at the Veterans' Administration, MC4/TC2/etc. used in the Army, whatever Kaiser uses...). There's also a long tail of utter crapware out there -- systems with 0-100 installations built with foxbase, hypercard (!!!), ms access, filemaker pro, ... . Dr Chrono has the best UI/UX of any of them (a lot of which is "free" because the iPad is so great compared to alternatives, but part of it is the quality of the Dr Chrono app, and the benefit of being a later entrant vs. a legacy app).
