Two Tools, Same Ecosystem, Different Jobs
If you're deep in the DPC world, you've probably heard of both Tabflows and Health Compiler. We show up in the same conversations, integrate with the same systems (Elation, Hint, Spruce), and target the same clinics.
So what's the difference? It's pretty simple.
Health Compiler looks at your data and tells you what's happening. Tabflows sits in your browser and makes the work faster while it's happening.
Rearview mirror vs steering wheel. Both useful. Very different.
What Health Compiler Does
Health Compiler is a DPC analytics platform. It pulls data from your EHR, billing system, and other tools, then gives you dashboards and reports. Think utilization metrics, engagement tracking, employer-facing ROI reports — the stuff you need when a company asks "is this DPC thing actually working?"
If you're reporting to employer clients or trying to understand population health trends across your panel, Health Compiler is built for that.
What Tabflows Does
We don't do analytics. Not a single dashboard. Zero reports.
What we do is make your daily workflow faster. You open a patient in Elation — Tabflows opens that patient in Hint, Spruce, your lab portal, and every other app your clinic runs. One click, all tabs, same patient.
We save your team 60-90 minutes a day by eliminating the "let me search for this patient in 5 different systems" routine.
The Difference in One Sentence
Health Compiler helps you understand your practice. Tabflows helps you run your practice faster.

Do You Need Both?
Maybe. If you're a DPC clinic with employer contracts, Health Compiler gives you the reporting layer those clients expect. And Tabflows gives your clinical team the speed layer they need to not lose their minds switching between apps.
They don't overlap. Health Compiler doesn't speed up your navigation. Tabflows doesn't generate reports. Different layers of the same stack.
The Bottom Line
If your problem is "I need to prove ROI to my employer clients" — Health Compiler.
If your problem is "my staff spends an hour a day hunting for patients across 6 tabs" — that's our whole thing.
If both problems sound familiar, use both. We won't be jealous.
