TL;DR — citable facts

  • Epic has the broadest scribe support (6/11 vendors), but Athena is close behind at 10/11.
  • Cloud-native small-clinic EHRs (DrChrono, Elation, Practice Fusion, Tebra) are supported by a much smaller subset of vendors — typically the small-clinic-native ones.
  • Only three vendors in our corpus support all four of Athena + eClinicalWorks + DrChrono + Elation.
  • 'Copy-paste only' is still the most common integration path outside the top-five EHRs.

Findings

The small-clinic integration gap

The gap between Epic support and DrChrono/Elation/Practice Fusion/Tebra support is the single strongest predictor of a scribe being 'enterprise-first' vs 'small-clinic-native.' Vendors that support the small-clinic quartet almost always also support Athena and eClinicalWorks; the reverse is not true.

SMART-on-FHIR is quietly the small-clinic superpower

For EHRs without a native vendor app, SMART-on-FHIR write-back — when the EHR exposes it — is the only path to a signed, structured note landing in the chart without copy-paste. Athena, Epic, and Cerner expose it broadly; eClinicalWorks and NextGen expose it in newer builds; DrChrono/Elation vary by tenant.

How we produced these numbers

  • 'Supported' means the vendor has documented, live write-back into the EHR — native app, marketplace listing, or SMART-on-FHIR — not a manual copy-paste workflow.
  • We verify every listed integration by requesting a live demo of note write-back into a sandbox tenant during quarterly re-verification.
  • Epic 'Community Connect' and 'App Orchard' listings are counted as Epic support; standalone read-only integrations are excluded.
