For US healthtech founders, product teams and integration leads
Connect your scheduling agent, patient app or care platform to DrChrono. We scope the permitted API operations, build the connection and test appointment changes, patient matching and staff handoffs before customer rollout.

Confirm OAuth permissions and the practice that grants access
Resolve identity before reading or changing records
Check schedule constraints and verify the accepted update
Show failed requests to staff and record the next step
Illustrative workflow · scope tailored to your environment
The short answer
DrChrono documents an OAuth 2.0 REST API with patient and appointment operations. We map your workflow to the required permissions and practice access, then build and test the integration against an authorized environment.
Compare EHR integration methodsStart with the real problem
An AI receptionist can finish a conversation while the appointment update still fails. Your product needs to distinguish a requested slot from a confirmed appointment, preserve the practice calendar and give staff enough context to resolve exceptions.
Your starting point
Your product needs to identify a patient, retrieve permitted context or complete an appointment request in the customer system.
Your team needs an agreed set of patient records and a supported destination for approved output.
A prototype exists, but customer access, failed updates or reconciliation remain unresolved.
The Engineering Engagement
Workstreams are selected around your priorities. Each comes with an output your team can inspect, test and own.
Map providers, offices, exam rooms and visit rules. Build the permitted booking and update operations, check the accepted record and handle conflicts without promising an unconfirmed appointment.
Select the permitted patient and clinical fields your application needs. Map identifiers, account for practice-level sharing rules and reconcile source updates.
Keep credentials server-side, request the agreed permissions and limit patient data to the required fields. Define audit and retention needs with your team.
Exercise denied access, missing records, duplicate requests and failed updates. Confirm the customer configuration and operational ownership before rollout.
Expertise is in the decisions
Confirm the OAuth scopes, the authorizing practice and any practice-level sharing settings. Treat each action as a separate permission and verify its behavior in the target environment.
Name each required operation and the system that owns its result. Confirm a write only after the source accepts it, with recovery for ambiguous responses.
Compare a direct vendor connection with an intermediary where appropriate. Check coverage, deployment needs, recurring fees and support ownership against the actual workflow.
Development cost depends on operations, mappings, customer configurations and failure handling. Vendor charges and onboarding lead time are assessed separately from engineering effort.
This service page describes work we can scope. It does not establish a vendor partnership, a pre-approved connector or a completed deployment for your customer.
Production permissions, commercial terms and clinical sign-off remain with the appropriate customer and vendor owners. We identify these dependencies during discovery.
From discussion to delivery
Agree the users, data, actions and access dependencies. Return a supported-operation map and an estimate with assumptions.
Build the selected connection and test ordinary requests and failures with authorized test data. Label sandbox results separately from production evidence.
Validate the agreed workflow in the customer environment, assign support ownership and complete the approved cutover.
We agree the scope, dependencies, acceptance criteria and commercial model before implementation. Your existing team can stay involved throughout.
Find the right starting point ↗The DrChrono REST API documents appointment creation. We confirm the required scopes and practice access, then test your booking rules, conflicts and confirmation behavior before enabling the agent.
No. We choose the interface for the required action and verify its operations and permissions. A clinical-data read does not establish that appointment or note writes are available.
Your product workflow, customer system, required reads and writes, available test access and rollout scope. Please exclude patient records and credentials from the enquiry form.
We estimate after confirming the operations, data mappings and customer configuration. The proposal separates engineering work, vendor or intermediary charges and dependencies that affect delivery.
We can plan work and identify dependencies, but the rollout date depends on confirmed access, customer configuration and acceptance. We agree milestones after the access review.
We design request tracking, source confirmation and recovery around the supported API behavior. Staff receive unresolved requests with context; the agent should not confirm an appointment the source has not accepted.
Yes. We can scope a common application contract with adapters for each EHR. Available actions, permissions and customer onboarding remain specific to each system.
A useful first conversation
Tell us what exists today, who uses it and where the workflow breaks. We’ll discuss the scope, access dependencies and the next practical step.
A product overview and a de-identified workflow are enough to start. No patient records or credentials are needed.
These are independent reference sources, not endorsements. Applicability, platform access and current requirements are confirmed for your project.
