ChiroSpring 360 vs WritePad EHR

ChiroSpring 360 is cloud-based chiropractic practice management software that brings scheduling, clinical documentation, billing, and patient engagement together. Its SOAP notes support customizable templates and macros, with more than 50 templates listed. Billing tools include automatic claim creation, claim scrubbing, and ERA posting; the Clearinghouse add-on includes a TriZetto account and connection. Appointment reminders can be sent by email, text, or voice, while GrowthHub plans add patient messaging and engagement features. The optional ChiroSpring AI add-on includes an AI Scribe, note rewriting, summaries of up to 30 notes, and a claims assistant that predicts payment likelihood for a CPT code. The cloud software requires no installation and supports Mac, PC, iPad, Android, and Chromebook; separate provider and patient apps are listed. Plans start at $149/mo, and there is no free plan. The maker says patient data is backed up in three U.S. locations and describes ChiroSpring AI as HIPAA compliant. Its FAQ advises providers to get patient consent before AI recording or transcription; requirements vary by state.

WritePad EHR is documentation software for chiropractic, rehabilitation and pain management practices. Customizable content and workflows are intended to reflect clinic needs, while specialty modules help create clinical notes and reports. WriteTouch Health supports secure online intake and patient-provider messaging, along with creating, signing and uploading clinical summaries. Patients can request appointments through a secure website-linked portal, with requests connected to the WritePad schedule. For billing, WriteLinks and Electronic FeeSlip provide integrations, and the company says it can build a link if a clinic's system is not available. WritePad links with DrFirst for e-prescribing, including controlled substances, and offers eRx Check for medication reconciliation and interaction checks. Clinics can use National Library of Medicine resources or their own files for patient education. It runs on Android, iOS, web and Windows, though direct installation on non-Windows hardware is not supported; the maker says Remote Desktop apps can provide access on those devices. Pricing begins at $99 per month, with a $495 setup and installation fee.
