Three notes:
1. DrChrono said it is the first EHR company using a native iOS App for iPad and iPhone to be certified for meaningful use Stage 3.
2. Medical practices using the DrChrono EHR platform will now be able to report and attest to federal requirements under Stage 3, the latest stage of meaningful use.
