Annual awards program recognizes the partnership between DrChrono, CORE, and Curogram’s digital health platforms that powered the COVID-19 vaccination project in Georgia.

This year’s MedTech Breakthrough Awards program received nearly 4,000 award nominations from digital health and medical technology companies globally.

Of the thousands of nominees, only 109 emerged as winners in the following categories: Clinical and Health Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records, Genomics, Internet-of-Things (IoT) Healthcare, Medical Data, Health and Fitness, Mobile Communications & teleHealth, Medical Device, Healthcare Cybersecurity, and Leadership.

DrChrono, in partnership with CORE and Curogram, emerged as winners of the Electronic Health Innovation Award in the sixth annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program 2022, celebrating their immense contribution to the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines to underserved patients throughout all 18 health districts in Georgia.

About the MedTech Breakthrough Award

The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the creativity, innovation, hard work, and success of digital health and medical technology companies, services, and products around the globe.

Winners of this award receive global recognition and third-party validation from an independent organization. The MedTech Breakthrough program focuses specifically on the digital health and medical technology verticals, producing today’s top public platform for recognizing standout medical technologies, people, and companies.

MedTech Breakthrough Award winners benefit from various PR, marketing, recruiting, and sales opportunities as the winners receive industry-wide recognition. Winners are also featured on the MedTech Breakthrough Awards website and are promoted heavily among the MedTech Breakthrough influencer and professional community.

Additionally, winners get to tout their awards at tradeshows and events, through media and analyst relations efforts, in news releases to key media and journalists, on their websites, social media, and anywhere else.

The Relationship Between DrChrono, CORE, and Curogram

The award for Electronic Health Record (EHR) innovation went to DrChrono, in collaboration with CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort, an emergency relief non-profit organization co-founded by Sean Penn and Ann Lee), Curogram (a leading HIPAA-compliant patient communications tool and messaging platform), and the state of Georgia. More specifically, this collaboration helped to deliver vaccines to underserved patients throughout all 18 health districts in Georgia via both mobile and fixed COVID-19 vaccine sites.

The program began in 2021 with over 30 clinical mobile teams that have since administered over 96,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. DrChrono's EHR served as the medical platform to record and manage the patient's health data as part of this effort, CORE was responsible for managing all site operations, and Curogram provided fully integrated patient engagement technology that offered online registration, site configuration/scheduling, recalls, and a vaccination module that documents vaccination data easily with mobile devices and automatically reports to state immunization registries.

Their results and achievement stood out in the health industry, winning this year's EHR Innovation Award. DrChrono is not new to this type of recognition, however, having won the Black Book’s number 1 Mobile EHR from 2013 to 2021 and the DEVIES Award for Best Innovation in Healthcare 2022.
