OpenEvidence Mid-Visit? Stop Leaving Your Chart.

The OpenEvidence Tab Problem

OpenEvidence is one of the most useful clinical decision support tools available — it gives you fast, AI-powered answers grounded in peer-reviewed research. The problem isn't OpenEvidence itself. The problem is what happens when you open it mid-visit: you leave your chart, lose your place, and break the conversational flow with your patient.

For DPC doctors who pride themselves on unhurried, thoughtful visits, the irony is painful. You want to look something up to give a better answer, but the act of looking it up disrupts the very quality of care you're trying to deliver.

How Tabflows Brings It All Together

Tabflows keeps OpenEvidence visible right next to your EHR, so looking something up mid-visit is as simple as glancing to the side of your screen. You never leave the chart, you never lose your place, and your patient never sees you fumble through tabs. See the full setup on our OpenEvidence integration page.

With Tabflows, evidence-based medicine stops being something that interrupts the visit and becomes something that enhances it. The knowledge is right there when you need it, without any workflow cost.

Real Workflow Examples

Before: A patient asks about a new treatment they read about online. You open a new tab for OpenEvidence, type the query, read the result, then switch back to your EHR to document the discussion. By the time you're back in the chart, you've lost the thread of the conversation.

After: OpenEvidence is already open in your Tabflows workspace. You type the query without leaving the chart view, read the answer alongside the patient's record, and continue the conversation without a beat of hesitation.

Before: You want to double-check a dosing guideline mid-prescribing. You switch from your Rx tool to OpenEvidence, find the answer, then switch back — hoping you remember the exact figure. After: OpenEvidence and your Rx tool are both visible. You check the dose and prescribe in the same glance.

Stop Tab-Switching. Start Practicing.

Evidence-based medicine should enhance your visits, not interrupt them. Tabflows puts OpenEvidence where it belongs — right next to your chart, ready when you need it, invisible when you don't.
