Is Strkr an EHR or does it replace our EHR?
No, Strkr is not an EHR and does not replace one. The EHR owns the clinical record: SOAP notes, orders, prescriptions, labs, imaging, problem list, allergies, and the claim lifecycle. Strkr sits next to the EHR as the CRM for patient-contact outreach, referral tracking, service-line pipelines, recall and reactivation, loyalty, reviews, and attribution. The two systems integrate on contact-level fields and leave clinical data in the EHR where regulatory and continuity-of-care workflows require it to live. A practice keeps their Athena, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono, Elation, NextGen, Kareo, Practice Fusion, Dentrix, or specialty EHR and adds Strkr as the outreach layer.
Does Strkr store PHI, and do we need a BAA?
Strkr does not store PHI as a design choice. The CRM holds patient-contact fields (name, email, phone, consent, service-line interest, source, loyalty tier, lifetime elective spend) that the outreach layer needs, and that set does not include clinical identifiers, diagnoses, medications, or treatment history. We treat insurance plan name as a non-PHI segmentation field; the plan member ID stays in the practice management system. If the practice compliance policy requires a Business Associate Agreement for any vendor touching patient contact data, Strkr executes a BAA on request as part of standard onboarding. The compliance review runs in parallel with implementation so onboarding is not blocked.
Which EHRs does Strkr integrate with?
The ambulatory and specialty EHRs Strkr integrates with cover most independent and group practice categories: Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono, Elation, Kareo, NextGen, Practice Fusion, AdvancedMD for the general ambulatory space; Dentrix, Open Dental, and Eaglesoft for dental; ChiroTouch and Jane for chiropractic and allied; Modernizing Medicine and Nextech for dermatology and ophthalmology; athenaOne, Epic Community Connect, and Cerner Ambulatory for larger groups. For an EHR not on the list, Strkr integrates through the standard contact-level APIs or HL7 feeds that most ambulatory EHRs expose, and the implementation team scopes the connector during onboarding. The sync is contact-level only; chart data stays in the EHR.
How does Strkr handle patient communication consent?
Consent is a first-class field on the contact record, broken out per channel: email marketing, SMS marketing, voice drop, mail, and transactional. The practice captures consent at the intake form, the patient portal, in-office kiosk, or post-visit survey, and the consent flip is logged to the audit trail with timestamp and source. Flows read consent before sending, so a patient who opted out of SMS never receives an outbound SMS and the compliance officer can prove it on the audit log. Unsubscribe links in every outbound message fire a consent flip automatically. The practice can also set tenant-wide quiet hours and per-channel frequency caps to stay within TCPA and CAN-SPAM norms without a sidebar app.
Can Strkr run reviews, reactivation, and loyalty in one place?
Yes. These three motions are the biggest reason mid-sized practices stack five vendors. Strkr runs them native on the patient record. Review requests fire post-visit on the channel the patient prefers and target Google Business Profile by default with Healthgrades, Zocdoc, and vertical-specific sites as additional targets. Reactivation is a standing flow that reads last-visit-date from the EHR and fires service-line-tuned cadence on the 18-month-plus lapses with front-desk escalation for high-value patients. Loyalty is a native program with points per spend category, tier thresholds, and redemption against procedures or products, tied to a lifetime-elective-spend field that updates with every paid encounter. One record, three motions, one subscription.
How does the service-line pipeline work for elective offerings?
Each service line (aesthetics, chronic-care program, weight management, in-office procedure, telehealth, hormone therapy, cosmetic consult, functional medicine) runs as its own stage-based pipeline. Default stages are Inquiry, Consult Scheduled, Consult Completed, Treatment Plan Sent, Treatment Scheduled, Treatment Completed, with per-stage entry criteria, next-step tasks, and stalled-inquiry drip sequences. Each inquiry carries first-touch source attribution (UTM, call tracking, booking source, offline source) and an expected spend band from a per-service price range. The owner sees the pipeline by inquiry count and by expected revenue in the same view, and the per-service dashboard rolls up weekly without a spreadsheet export.
How does Strkr track referring providers and the referral network?
Every referring provider is modeled as an account with the practice name, address, specialty mix, in-network status, and the contact records for the physicians and office staff who route the referrals. Each patient referral is a timeline event on the account with consult booked, consult completed, loop-close letter sent, and follow-up visit stages captured. Loop-close letters fire automatically within the window the practice has set. The referrer scorecard reports referral volume, conversion to case, revenue contribution, and trailing-six-month trend per account. Cooling-off alerts flag accounts whose referral count has dropped more than 40% versus baseline so the practice relations rep works the warming list before the referrer goes fully quiet. The field rep runs a route-planning saved view with lunch-drop and visit history on every account.
