While I could effortless type 100 to 200 wpm, once I entered my commonly-used phrases and programmed in each doctor's most-used phrases, i was producing something like 450 65-character lines per hour. Pros super easy to add data, many formatting options Cons creating custom forms was not intuitive; had to re-read helps too many times Review Source Response from Nagarsoft July 30, 2019 Thanks so much for your review, Joi. I'm so glad that PhraseExpander is making a substantial difference in your business. And thanks for your feedback about custom forms. We are continuing to improve on that. SL Sam L. Family Medicine Physician Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This program is a major time saver for my medical practice!" November 26, 2017 5.0 Pros The program is easy to learn. Once it is set up, you will save tons of time! The new medical license subscription can be shared on the multiple computers with the whole medical team. Cons You have to spend some time initially to set up how you like it since it does not have much customized macros and templates for generalized medical providers. Review Source FR Fred R. Medical doctor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "phraseexpander medical " January 21, 2019 5.0 As I said before it worth every penny and dollar to pay for this. Through INBOX cloud storage all your templates is shared with other computers and tablets. Pros Phrase expander is everything a medical professional need as a companion for their EMR / EHR and beyond. Many EMRs lack the ability to provide templates to do rapid charting! Well this software would take care of that EMR 's deficiency. The capability of this software removes the anxiety of memorizing numerous abbreviations, since as you type choices appear before you. Many medical softwares do not have the "click-n-go" capability but with phrase expander you can design your own and adds variation and speed to your template charting. Some words are long and tedious to type, well with this software entering the first few characters then the phraseexpander types the rest. I love this software, above all updates and costumers support is superb. Highly recommended. Cons Hope full functionality in Android apps is added. Although it works there too but its hit and miss.

Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great productivity tool" March 25, 2021 5.0 Phrase Expander is a great tool to save time and be more productive at work and at home for a good price. Pros Easy to learn and to use. Phrase Expander can help you to save a lot of time each day. Cons It take resources from your computer and if you don't have a lot of memory or run a lot of applications, this software can be slow. Review Source AB Aaron B. Physician Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "TIMESAVER!" January 30, 2017 5.0 I have used PhraseExpander for just over a year and love how quickly I can access my 3MinuteClinic medical templates in ANY EMR! With a simple dot-phrase, I can access templates for HPIs, care plans, patient summaries, and web links; and I 've only begun to scratch the surface of Phrase Expander's capabilities. Thanks to the Nagarsoft team, I can rapidly complete clinic notes so I can spend more time with my patients. My only complaint is that it's not currently available on the Mac platform. Overall, this app is a MUST HAVE if you want to significantly increase your productivity. I can't imagine running my clinic without it.

Physician Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great software with incredible customer support." April 27, 2018 5.0 Increased workflow efficiency. Pros This software has saved me countless hours that would have otherwise been spent re-entering the same clinical note format over and over again. However, the customer support is the best feature. Cons I wish that there was a portable version that could be installed on a thumb drive and used on any PC that the thumb drive was inserted into without requiring installation on that PC. Many hospitals use individual thin client workstations at the bedside and nurses stations and individually installing the software on each PC would be challenging; this functionality would be invaluable.

Medical Transcriptionist Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I love Phraseexpander. I don't have to remember all of the medical words." May 30, 2018 5.0 Ease of typing long medical words, effortless quick tying of common phrases. which in turn adds speed to my typing. Pros Easy to add words, and I don't have to remember how to spell them. Support is quick to get back to me, and hopefully, no question is a 'stupid' question. Cons There's nothing I don't like at the moment. I don't use the software to it's full though. At present, I am only using the glossaries as part of my role as a medical transcriptionist.

Makes my documentation/ correspondence more accurate, and intelligent, Especially when I'm tired or just just don't feel like elaborating on a topic. Helps me organize my thoughts. Pros Amazing capabilities. Ability to sort shortcuts into folders (Glossaries, and sub-glossaries). Awesome template functionality Excellent customization Cons Advanced features are difficult to understand implement. I'm sure I'm only using about 25% of the software's potential. I would love to see more downloadable templates, and a community forum for sharing templates, ideas and general problem solving. (maybe a Google group, or hosted forum) Review Source VP Victor P. MD Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Saving time" August 29, 2018 5.0 I have more time with my patients than clicking EHR Pros It is easy to fill out the medical record and save time.

Autocorrects are very helpful. The best part is the template which is excellent. The support staffs are very responsive. Cons If there is another pricing method for NGOs or Charitable organizations then it would have been better. Review Source CHAD E. Optometrist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great time saver" February 27, 2019 5.0 Phrase expander has been great! We can now chart more quickly and efficiently. Not only have the macros helped to fill in quick templates, but we can now use it to query data from different formulas and questionnaires. When charting before we had to open a excel file, fill in all the data, transfer the data back into the chart then upload the whole excel file into the chart. With 6 doctors, trying to make sure we had the correct file was even more time consuming, and we had to worry about patient data stored on our hard drives. Now everything is calculated and entered directly into the chart for easy access and easier compliance. Pros Reduces significant time while charting. Cons There are a few extra steps to input into a flash text field. Review Source Similar Products Featured
