🚀 SimChat is Now Live!
SimChat solidifies ChartFlow as THE academic EHR for simulation.
SimChat enhances our Simulation Control Panel, making ChartFlow the most comprehensive EHR for simulation on the market. If you've logged into ChartFlow lately, you know that's not the only thing that's new — which is why we've added a "What's New" panel on the left-hand side of your home page. You'll now be able to see updates in ChartFlow, even when you don't have time to open our newsletters.
💬 SimChat: Real-Time Communication During Simulations
SimChat went live last weekend and the feedback has been tremendous.
If you've used our Simulation Activities in the past, you might've wondered: How do students know a new event has been added if they miss the alert? How do instructors debrief what happened?
Those problems have been solved with our new SimChat.
- Message students in real-time without leaving the simulation
- Events are automatically logged with a timestamp for you and students to see
- Review the SimChat for a single record of all events and chats that occurred during a simulation
🆕 Introducing the "What's New" Page
You may have noticed we've been releasing features at breakneck speed, faster than we can send these newsletters!
That's why we've put together a "What's New" page for Instructors. You'll find it on your homepage after logging in.
We'll still be sending newsletters, but What's New will be updated instantly with any new changes — so you're always in the loop.
📊 Growth Charts — Early Preview (Feedback Wanted!)
We have an early version of Growth Charts ready for review! If you're interested in providing some feedback on this upcoming feature, send us a quick email and we'll send you a few screenshots & questions we've put together.
If you’re interested in collaborating with us on growth charts, send us an email to: hello@chartflow.io
💰 Looking for a More Affordable EHR for Fall?
We know many programs are struggling to find ways to cut costs for their students. As publishers continue to raise their prices year after year, we've taken a different approach here at ChartFlow — adding new features while keeping our prices the same.
If your students are paying over $100 for their EHR subscription, give our system a look. We tend to save programs 50–75% on their annual EHR subscriptions!
Originally sent as a ChartFlow customer newsletter on April 6, 2026. Formatted for blog reposting.
