How an FNP Regained 5 Hours a Week with Freed
Meet Erica D., FNP in a critical access hospital. With a full life on and off the clock, she uses Freed to finish charts at work.
Before Freed
“I would try to type as the patient was talking. It was very distracting for both of us. I felt a disconnect–I wasn't able to look at the patient all the time. I kept looking back at my screen.”
Erica’s old charting workflow might sound familiar:
Open a Google Doc before each visit
Type while the patient talks
Organize notes and try to remember signs and symptoms
Rewrite and plug into the EHR
Since rewrites can take hours, she’d either stay late or finish up on the weekends.
After Freed
“I leave work on time and have my weekends again. Freed brings me back to why I wanted to get into healthcare.”
Here’s Erica’s new charting workflow:
Turn on Freed on her phone or laptop
Focus on her patient during the visit
Pull the completed SOAP note when she’s done
Copy/paste into her EHR template
Since Freed makes the HPI for her, she doesn’t need to rewrite or dictate into a transcription tool.
“It's like finding an extra day in my week.”
Erica chose Freed for its:
Accuracy
Freed abstracts only the important information. Since it’s designed specifically for clinicians, medical terms and medications are spelled correctly.
Ease-of-use
Erica didn’t need any complex integrations or training sessions after signing up. This was huge: she wanted to get started ASAP.
Clinician-focused innovation
Freed prioritizes the features that clinicians need most. For Erica, this brings her back to why she started in healthcare.
“A lot of providers go into health care because they want to provide that relationship, that compassionate, patient centered care. You’re able to do that easier with Freed without compromising your own time.”
Favorite Features
Erica trained Freed to write like she does. Here's how she customized it for her practice.
Learn Format
This teaches Freed to adapt to your writing style. Erica used it to capture notes in short phrases instead of full sentences.
Note Length
This is an easy toggle. Erica usually keeps notes on the “standard” format, but sometimes switches to “Concise” or “Detailed.”
Magic Edit
This lets her modify the information she wants in each note, like adding a physical exam to the Objective.
