Healthcare
Features for Healthcare
From insurance forms to prescription instructions, healthcare workers have a large array of literature that they must deal with everyday. Determining whether these documents are too difficult for your patients to read is vital. To assist with this, Readability Studio provides your patient materials’ reading levels and recommends areas of improvement.
Excluding known words
Text exclusion features enable you to remove words familiar to your patients from analysis. Thus, the names of medications and diseases known to your readers won't negatively impact the scores.
Familiar words
Likewise, you can create custom versions of familiar-word tests (e.g., New Dale Chall) and append your own words to it. This will create a test that is designed specifically for patients familiar with certain medical terms.
Batch analysis
Documents can be analyzed one-by-one, or in batches. Batches allow for reviewing aggregated scores, grammar issues, and key concepts for hundreds (or thousands) of documents at a glance. You can also “drill down” into a specific document to review it in more detail.
Test recommendations
Wizards and test bundles are provided to help you choose the right tests for your materials. Likewise, you can manually add tests at any time to your projects.
Custom tests
Along with the included tests, you can also create your own tests using a custom formula.
Publishing
Printing and exporting capabilities for all test scores, word lists, statistics, graphs, etc are provided. This enables you to easily share and publish your results
Visualizations

Detailed statistics

Difficult words & sentences
