Many chiropractic clinics are still using paper files, but that may be costing them more than they realize. In contrast, Electronic Health Record (EHR) software is designed to streamline patient care, reduce errors, and improve compliance. This blog compares both systems to help you decide what’s best for your practice.
The Hidden Costs of Paper Records
At first glance, paper files seem cheaper—but they come with hidden costs:
-
Time-consuming retrieval and filing
-
Lost or misfiled documents
-
Storage space and security risks
These issues slow your team down and make it harder to deliver fast, consistent care.

Chiropractic EHR software like Chiro Quick Charts offers:

Instant access to patient charts from any device

Custom SOAP notes that auto-fill routine data
-
Secure storage with backup protection

Compliance and Legal Protection
EHR software provides better documentation for audits, insurance claims, and legal protections.
Chiro Quick Charts is Meaningful Use certified and keeps detailed records with time stamps, making it easy to track care delivery.
Paper records are harder to defend if you’re ever audited or need to prove your clinical actions.
