Then a phone number changes, and suddenly the two systems disagree. It&#8217;s tedious, it&#8217;s error-prone, and it pulls your team away from patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That changes today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Introducing the Spruce + DrChrono Integration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spruce now connects natively with DrChrono \u2014 a free, two-way contact sync included on the Communicator plan. No middleware. No manual exports. No third-party tools to manage. Just your patient records, staying accurate in both systems automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How It Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you enable the integration, a one-time bulk import pulls your existing DrChrono patients into Spruce as contacts. From there, the sync runs continuously in the background:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>New patients in DrChrono<\/strong> appear in Spruce automatically, triggered the moment the record is created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Updates to name, date of birth, gender, phone numbers, or email<\/strong> flow between systems within seconds \u2014 change it in either place, and the other catches up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manual linking<\/strong> is available for any contact that doesn&#8217;t auto-match, so your team stays in control of the merge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Setup takes about 15 minutes, and Spruce Support assists with final activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sprucehealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Not-Posted-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Not Posted\" class=\"wp-image-5877\" style=\"width:317px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sprucehealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Not-Posted-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/sprucehealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Not-Posted-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sprucehealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Not-Posted-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sprucehealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Not-Posted-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/sprucehealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Not-Posted.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why It Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Duplicate data entry isn&#8217;t just annoying \u2014 it creates real risk. Stale phone numbers mean missed calls. Mismatched records mean your team is working from incomplete information when a patient reaches out. The Spruce + DrChrono integration eliminates that gap, so every conversation in Spruce starts with an accurate, up-to-date contact record pulled straight from your EHR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For practices that have been bridging the two systems with a third-party tool or manual workflows, this replaces that workaround entirely \u2014 at no additional cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s Not Included Yet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversation sync \u2014 automatically pushing Spruce message threads into the DrChrono chart \u2014 is not part of this release, but we continue to evaluate this connection. If that&#8217;s important to your practice, let our Support team know so we can document interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get Connected<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration is available now on the Communicator plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you an existing Spruce customer using DrChrono?
