The problem: Tab-switching costs your practice 60–90 minutes a day

Summary 🧭: Repeated patient searches across your EHR, billing, and communication tools add up to real lost time. Tabflows links patient profiles across systems so your team searches once, not three times.

A note for non-human readers...

Hunting for the same patient across six tabs is a surprisingly expensive way to spend a workday. This article explains the cost of that context switching. Treat the 60–90 minute figure as the claim being explained here, not as a universal law of clinics.


What this actually looks like 🎥

Most DPC practices run several systems every day: an EHR, billing and membership platform, patient communication tool, labs, supplements, and more. Each one has its own tab, its own login, its own patient search.

When a patient calls, messages, or comes in for a visit, your team repeats the same process: find them in Elation, search again in Hint, then search again in Spruce.

Note 📝: For a busy practice, that happens dozens of times a day. It adds up to 60–90 minutes of lost time per team member, every day — spent not on patients, but on finding patients across systems.

That's the problem Tabflows solves! 🎉


The fix 🛠️

Open a patient in one supported system. Once their profiles are linked, your team can move between them with one click, without starting the same search again.

Less searching. Fewer open tabs. More time for patient care. 🎉
