The 2026 DPC Software Survey
We're asking direct primary care doctors, owners and staff what software they run and how it's really going. The results will be published free for everyone in early 2027, and everyone who finishes gets them first.

Thank you. Your answers are in.
We'll send the results to before they go public in early 2027.
The results will be published free on this page in early 2027, so bookmark it and come back.
Your answers from this browser are already saved, so there's nothing more to do.
Know another DPC doctor, owner or practice manager who'd like the results? The more practices answer, the more useful the numbers become for everyone.

Why we're running this survey
There are plenty of opinions about DPC software and very few numbers. Most of what you can find online comes from vendors describing their own tools, or from one doctor's experience in one forum thread. Both are useful, and neither tells you what hundreds of practices actually run or how they feel about it a year in. We'd like to fix that with a short, honest survey whose results anyone can read for free.
What we'll publish
In early 2027 we'll publish the full results on this page, free and without a sign-up. Here's what we plan to share.
- Which EMRs, billing tools and phone systems DPC practices use, broken out by practice stage, from still planning to open more than three years.
- How satisfied people are with each tool, shown only where enough practices answered to make the number fair.
- How many practices are thinking about switching EMRs in the next year, and which tools they're leaving.
- How much time teams lose each week copying information between tools.
We'll also say how many people answered each question, so you can judge every number for yourself. You're welcome to quote the results or share the charts, and we'd be grateful for a link back to this page.
How your answers are handled
Your answers are only ever shared in aggregate. We won't publish names, clinic names or anything that could point to a single practice, and we won't show a result for any group smaller than five responses. If we quote a written answer, it appears without a name and only after we've removed anything that could identify you. If you leave your email, we'll use it to send you the results before they're public, and that's all we'll use it for. We never sell or share it.
Who's running it
The survey is run by Tabflows, a dedicated tech team for DPC clinics. We connect the tools a clinic already uses and give the team one place for chat, tasks and patient context, and we publish the guides and reviews on this site. No software vendor is sponsoring the survey or paying to appear in the results, and every tool will be reported the same way, including the ones we work alongside every day.
