JavaScript vs. PhraseExpander vs. QML vs. Scala Comparison Chart

Store all your medical terms, common formulas and templates in a single place and pull them up instantly, by typing an abbreviation. Autocomplete medications, drug names or any long term that you often write when interviewing patients. Pull up customizable templates that you can edit very quickly, thanks to our input forms. This will prevent you from making embarrassing mistakes, and inadvertently sharing confidential information – which often happens when copying, pasting and then editing an existing note. Use dynamic forms and macros and gain flexibility in designing your templates by adding branching logic, calculating scores, inserting custom data (like the current date), or opening applications and websites. Even if your EMR has some sort of autocompletion (like Epic Smart phrases), PhraseExpander can provide with additional boost by working in any section of your EMR and providing a totally unmatched flexibility in templates.

Scala combines object-oriented and functional programming in one concise, high-level language. Scala's static types help avoid bugs in complex applications, and its JVM and JavaScript runtimes let you build high-performance systems with easy access to huge ecosystems of libraries. The Scala compiler is smart about static types. Most of the time, you need not tell it the types of your variables. Instead, its powerful type inference will figure them out for you. In Scala, case classes are used to represent structural data types. They implicitly equip the class with meaningful toString, equals and hashCode methods, as well as the ability to be deconstructed with pattern matching. In Scala, functions are values, and can be defined as anonymous functions with a concise syntax.
