How do I create a staff account?

Providers and those with the permission to create staff accounts have the ability to add staff accounts for their staff members. Staff accounts have the following capabilities which may be customized based on your practice needs:

  • Full access to DrChrono
  • Scheduling, charting, patient information, settings, profiles, and reporting
  • Sign/Locking of clinical notes and submission of e-prescriptions. However, these are executed on behalf of the provider the staff member is assigned under. Staff members cannot sign/lock clinical notes and submit e-prescriptions under their own names.
  • Billing information, access to all business intelligence tools, and submitting claims

A comprehensive list of staff permissions may be found here.

4. A verification email will be sent to the email address you inputted for the staff member. Have your staff member click on the email and it will direct them to their new account in the DrChrono EHR. Your staff member may now begin to log in using the username and password you assigned to them when adding them as a staff member.

The staff member will initially be marked as inactive until they activate their account using the link provided to them in the verification email.
