Once you're on the patient chart, you can do many different things. For example, if you have your patients fill out their demographic information through OnPatient or the DrChrono Check-In App, you can find that information in the Demographics tab.

You can also manually add the information, or make changes. So if the patient has an updated email, phone number, address, etc., you can change that under the demographics tab below. You can also document things such as insurance authorizations and adding patient flags.
