UpToDate Lookups Without Leaving Your Patient's Chart

The UpToDate Tab Problem

Every clinician knows the drill: you're mid-chart, a clinical question comes up, and you open UpToDate in a new tab. You search, find the article, scroll to the relevant section — and by the time you switch back to the patient's chart, you've lost your place. Worse, you're now trying to hold clinical evidence in short-term memory while you document or make a decision.

UpToDate is indispensable for evidence-based practice, but the way most physicians access it — in a completely separate browser tab — turns a quick reference into a disruptive context switch. In a DPC practice where visit times are longer and clinical depth matters, that disruption adds up.

How Tabflows Brings It All Together

Tabflows lets you view UpToDate references right next to your patient's chart in a split-screen layout. Search for a guideline, read the recommendation, and apply it to your documentation — all without losing sight of the patient's data. Visit our UpToDate integration page to see how it works in practice.

Real Workflow Examples

• Medication dosing: A patient needs a dose adjustment for renal impairment. You pull up the UpToDate dosing table on one side while reviewing their latest GFR and current med list on the other.
• Differential diagnosis: Mid-encounter, you want to confirm your workup plan. UpToDate's diagnostic algorithm is visible alongside the patient's labs and imaging results — no memorizing, no toggling.
• Patient education: While explaining a new diagnosis, you reference UpToDate's patient-facing summary next to their chart so you can tailor the conversation to their specific history.
