In this episode of On the Health Record, we're excited to share a conversation we had a little while back with DrChrono co-founder and former COO, Daniel Kivatinos. 

We dive deep into a DrChrono retrospective from the origins with Daniel and his co-founder Michael through the acquisition of DrChrono by EverCommerce. You’ll learn more about how DrChrono evolved as a product and company through pivotal moments like launching the first ever EHR on iPad to adding on RCM services and more. 

Daniel has seen DrChrono through it all, and we know that the whole DrChrono team is immensely grateful for what he’s built here. It was a pleasure to reminisce with Daniel and learn a little more about what he’s looking forward to after his time at DrChrono. 

This was a great conversation; thanks again to Daniel!

We've been looking forward to this episode for a long time. Aunt Franny has a unique understanding of what it takes to make a hospital function efficiently.

Frances also enlightened us on Personality Trait Theory, a topic which she’s written a dissertation on, and how understanding human dynamics can translate into more effective systems in workplace settings. We even touch on the changes in EHRs over the years along the way!

Talking to Aunt Franny was a lot of fun, and we're excited for you all to hear what she’s learned over the course of her long career in healthcare.
