At drchrono (#1 iPad EHR on the Market, YC W'2011) we are building a very open API that has an open door policy to our customers and other digital health startups. If anyone is working in the digital healthcare space we'd love to work with you. You can get access to and build on our JSON API in 1-2 days.

Your doctor could always get http://drchrono.com. Its practice management/EHRs for ~$100-500/month. Not affiliated, just a huge fan.

Isn't this addressed by a product like https://drchrono.com/ (YC!) or am I missing somethings?

If you're looking for a truly disruptive startup, you should tackle insurance billing. This is a $1 Trillion+ industry powered by people making phone calls and sending paper mail. Just look at this list of insurance payers: https://drchrono.com/public_payer_search/. See how they all have different enrollment forms? Every clinic that wants to do electronic billing with insurance has to fill out an enrollment form for every insurer on that list (though most only do a subset). Filling out those forms is powered by people. For those of you that haven't dealt with insurance, a real-time eligibility checker is actually a huge deal. The best of class eligibility providers define "real-time" as "we'll respond within five minutes to your request, and only between the hours of 8am and 6pm Eastern, and often the service will be down for many of those hours, and requests will fail randomly, and we can handle a full 10 requests per minute." When clinics get eligibility information wrong they end up eating the cost of service or sending out a huge unexpected bill to the patient. (Actually, it looks like DrChrono is using Emdeon, which has many of the problems described above.) The (stealthy) biotech startup at which I work has to deal with a huge number of insurance companies. I've been working on insurance claim integration and had to build out a parser for the absurd file format standard the healthcare industry uses (https://github.com/sbuss/TigerShark). We're parsing and handling…

drchrono, like any other EMR system here in the States, meets HIPAA requirements: https://drchrono.com/security/ If you don't understand what HIPAA entails, have a look at: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/

At this point it's downright comical. It seems like a significant percentage of startups these days go to market on a design that is directly copied from Shopify.com pricing page: http://www.shopify.com/signup https://drchrono.com/pricing/ Or worse, look at that little badge in the top right and compare it to the one at www.shopify.com frontpage.

So, I don't know. I haven't had time to delve into their backend, so I'm not sure how they import all that data (lab results, ekgs, xrays). But the interface seems clumsy (coming from a former physician, and current ipad user) from the videos I watched. Neither of the founders are from medical backgrounds: https://drchrono.com/team/ They do have a "Senior Medical Director" who is currently a psychiatry resident, which means relatively few years practicing medicine. I don't want to discount his abilities just for that, but for instance, it seems unlikely he has really worked in a private practice which is what this seems whole package seems targeted to. I know disruption can happen from outside the system, but in the case of physician's medical record systems, I feel like the main hurdle is trying to show/teach doctors that your system can be a more efficient system in day-to-day. And to do that you really need to understand that day-to-day workflow. Especially since they are targetting these small practices it seems.
