Example: hrrr/heart has a regular rate and rhythm

Example: otne/otherwise negative

Example: ory/originally

Excellent tip!
Great Tip indeed. Can we have somebody responsible for doing this on all workstations. Becaause in theory, since everybody is doing the same mix of doctors, everyone should have the same expanded words or phrases right? This could really help with accuracy and speed
