Support Stack
Everything DPC depends on. Except the EHR.

How the Battle works
Last year the DPC community settled the EHR debate. This year it’s everything else, the tools that run the practice when the EHR isn’t looking. Billing, scheduling, patient communication, AI, labs, and six more categories.
No vendor paid to be here. No algorithm decided the rankings. Physicians vote, physicians win. Results go live on stage at DPC Summit in July 2026 and in print in The Toolkit Summer 2026 issue.
’26
The rules are
simple
Physicians vote. Votes are counted. The tool with the most recommendations in each category wins. That’s it. Here’s what we do, and don’t do, to keep it clean.
This vote is built for DPC physicians. Not vendors, not investors, not consultants. The questions are structured around what it actually feels like to run a DPC practice day to day.
Every category has a write-in field. If your tool isn’t on the list, add it. Write-in votes count the same as any other. The list is a starting point, not a ceiling.
Solo year-one and group year-ten don’t have the same needs. We’ll break down results by practice size and time in DPC so the data is actually usable.
One submission per device. We monitor for duplicates. Vendors cannot submit on behalf of users or run campaigns to flood the vote.
No email, no name, no identifying information. Vote freely without thinking about vendor relationships or who might be watching.
Winners announced on stage in July 2026. Full results published in The Toolkit Summer 2026 issue with physician quotes from the open-response fields.
On sponsors: The Toolkit has sponsors. They get audience exposure and editorial features. They do not see vote data during the voting period and cannot influence category rankings. Sponsorship and the community vote are kept separate.
10 battles.
One community verdict.
Vote in as many or as few as apply to your practice. Every category counts independently.
