Prescribing via the DrChrono EHR iPad App

You can prescribe medications electronically through the app. To do so, you'll need to have eRx set up. If you haven't done that yet, please visit our guide located here.

Creating a New Prescription

To create a new prescription, enter the EHR through the navigation bar on your iPad. Then, navigate to a patient's chart.

Once you're at a patient's chart, tap on their name to reveal a drop-down menu. You want to select Send eRx. This will bring you to the new eRx page.

Once you're at the new eRx page, fill out the form with your desired medication, your sig, the quantity, unit, and refills. When you're done, select Preview in the upper right-hand corner.

On the Preview page Go over your prescription information, then select Interactions at the top of the page. Check your interactions and when you verify everything to be correct, hit Send in the upper right-hand corner.
