DrChrono EHR v2026.01.0 — January 30, 2026

🌟 New features

Patient allergies and problems lists

We're excited to announce significant enhancements that improve how you capture and share patient information—while keeping you compliant with the latest healthcare standards.

What's new

Enhanced allergy documentation

Your allergy records just got smarter. We've added new verification status options and standardized coding to ensure critical allergy information transfers seamlessly when you share records with other providers. Better documentation means better patient safety.

Improved Problem List management

Document patient problems with greater precision using new status options (like "recurrence," "remission," and "relapse") and verification statuses. Plus, the system now automatically identifies Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) diagnoses, helping you paint a more complete picture of your patients' health needs.

Why it matters

βœ… Seamless data sharing with hospitals, specialists, and health systems
βœ… Regulatory compliance built right in
βœ… More complete patient records that support better clinical decisions

πŸ“… Feature rollout will begin on January 30, with full availability by February 10.

Simplified new patient registration

New patient registration has been simplified by removing inline red warnings for additional fields. Only First Name and Last Name are now required, aligning the experience with web behavior and reducing unnecessary interruptions during patient setup.

🐞Resolutions

Use iPad EHR permission

We fixed an issue where changes to the Use iPad EHR permission were not consistently applied.

What’s fixed:

  • The app now checks for permission changes every 15 minutes.

  • If the Use iPad EHR permission is disabled, the user will be automatically logged out of the iPad EHR.

  • Depending on timing, this may happen immediately or within up to 15 minutes after the change.
