As reported directly from their website: "ChARM EHR is a cloud-based online, ambulatory Electronic Health Record (EHR), Practice Management and Medical Billing solution for small and medium-sized practices which dramatically improves practice efficiency and quality of care for patients. It allows you to schedule appointments, share pre-appointment questionnaires, record patient visits, maintain comprehensive information about patient’s medical condition, etc.

ChARM EHR is offered as a software as a service (SaaS) that eliminates need to maintain expensive hardware, and you enjoy hassle-free software upgrades without any manual intervention.
ChARM EHR workflow starts with the patient registration. Front office can register a patient through phone-in or when the patient walks into the clinic. When a patient is registered, patient is also provided a free account in the ChARM Patient portal. All future appointments can be requested through patient portal as well for ease of use.
Practice can share Pre-appointment questionnaires to the patient which will show up in the patient portal with a notification to patient in e-mail. Patient can fill-in the questionnaires, share medical history and documents with the practice even before the visit. This greatly reduces the actual patient waiting time at the clinic.
ChARM EHR also offers an iPad based Patient Check-in providing patient check-in kiosk application which is useful for walk-in patients to fill-in their details including their medical history, history of present illness, allergies, treatment taken, etc. This information can be instantly accessed by the physician in the patient chart during consultation, so that they can take informed clinical decisions for better healthcare.
