Familiarizing Yourself with OnPatient Onboarding/Check-In

The OnPatient portal allows your patients to check in for their appointment before visiting your office. Your patients can onboard/check in through the OnPatient website or iOS application and have all their information saved in DrChrono.

Within DrChrono, you can customize what the patient will see and enter into the form. The sections here are shown as the default sections included with your DrChrono account. Each section can be reordered or removed based on your needs.

The information obtained through OnPatient check-in is stored in the patient's chart or their clinical visit.

Patient Chart Information

The following sections populate information into the patient's chart:

  • Profile Photo
  • Name & Gender
  • Address
  • Background Information

Allergies, Medications, Conditions, and Questions and Comments

Patients can verify their medications, allergies, and conditions and document any changes. Additionally, they can note questions or comments for the provider.

Note: Changes noted by patients will not automatically update this information in their chart. An update based on the new information will need to be entered into the chart by a provider or staff member.
