MedAbbrev Enhances Searches with Account Specific Results

Posted February 20, 2026

innoviHealth is excited to announce a new enhancement to MedAbbrev allowing organizations to have greater search flexibility. Accounts are now able to include their own lists of abbreviations/acronyms that are specific for their organization. These are found on the Account Information page:

  • "Do Not Use" List URL
  • "Supplemental Terms" List URL

This customer requested feature allows organizations to add “supplemental” approved terms using the [Account Terms] option. Please note that this feature can only be accessed by the account administrator. Once terms and descriptions have been added to the account list and an account user does a search on a term that appears in their organization’s “approved” list, it will be the first result displayed on the search results page. Here’s an example:

In this case, the term “CLD” is on the account’s list of “Approved” terms so it is the first result showing.

Here’s how it works.

  • Go into your account (Menu -> Account) and click on [Account Terms]
If you have already added terms, then you will see the list of your additions, it will look something like this:

  2. When the “Edit Account Term” window opens, make whatever revisions need to be made and click [Save] to save your changes.
