I increased my speed when I took the time to put in my expansions.. wasn't easy but it definitely increased by lph by about 30-50 regularly.

I am an old PRD user, and kept the same rules ..

i.e.
start all meds with a v and 3 letters, i.e.
vpro = Procardia
vpen = penicillin


For three-word phrases, I use the first letter of each word .. chf = congestive heart failure

Be consistent with how you name abbreviation and expanded words .. i.e.
chf = congestive heart failure
chf2 = CHF
(all abbreviations would have the 2 or whichever way is easier for you)


Typically I stay away from 1 letter abbreviations ... too easy to make a mistake with.


Make short forms for ALL regular words .. and use them.
t = the
r = were
n = and
wo = without
wi = with
hh = has had
pt = patient
pa = the patient
hi = he is
si = she is


I put in words that my fingers just want to type wrong, i.e.
nad = and
onyl = only


If I think of any others, I will add ... good luck to you!
