Introduction: Automate New Patient Creation with JotForm and DrChrono #
Automate new patient creation effortlessly with JotForm and DrChrono. In this post, we will show you how to set up a workflow that automates new patient creation. First, a patient fills out a registration form on JotForm. Then, Workload’s AI Formatter cleans the data. Finally, the data creates a new patient record in DrChrono. This system saves time and reduces errors.
