Snipset for Healthcare Professionals

Stop retyping the same follow-up instructions, SOAP notes, and portal replies, and stop worrying about where patient data goes. Snipset expands clinical text natively in any EMR field with sub-millisecond Rust speed, while patient data stays 100% on your device.

WHY HEALTHCARE TEAMS CHOOSE SNIPSET

Built for Clinical Speed, Engineered for Patient Privacy

Dictation subscriptions bill per clinician per month, browser extensions break inside locked-down EMR environments, and scattered dot phrases never leave one system. Snipset replaces them with a single native, local-first engine: one-time license, zero PHI exposure, and instant expansion anywhere clinicians type.

Patient Data Never Leaves Your Device

Names, notes, and clipboard history live in a local SQLite database, never in a vendor cloud. Snipset operates 100% offline with zero telemetry, so no PHI is transmitted to or stored by Snipset and no BAA with us is required. This supports HIPAA-aligned workflows while keeping your compliance surface minimal.

One-Time Lifetime License, Not Per-Seat SaaS Fees

Voice scribes and dictation tools charge recurring fees per clinician per month, and the bill grows with every new hire. Snipset is a transparent One-Time Lifetime License: no subscription renewals, no seat counting, and no procurement debates every budget cycle, for solo clinicians and whole departments alike.

Native OS-Level Reach Into Any EMR Field

Snipset is written in native Rust and expands in any text field where your cursor blinks (Epic, Oracle Cerner, Athenahealth, patient portals, and email), even in Citrix or VMware-hosted EMR sessions where browser extensions and plugins are blocked. No plugin to approve, no IT ticket, and only < 25MB RAM.

Clinical Date-Math Variables & Air-Gapped Local AI

A wrong follow-up date or misspelled medication is a patient-safety risk. Snipset injects #{clipboard:Patient Name}, #{date:+14 days:MMMM D, YYYY}, and on-device #{ai:...} drafting automatically, consistent, accurate, and private across your entire care team.

PRACTICAL CLINICAL WORKFLOWS

Stop Retyping the Same Notes, Instructions &amp; Replies

Real-world templates that save clinicians and clinic staff hours every week, from post-op follow-ups to portal messaging.

Follow-Up & After-Care

Post-Procedure Instructions & Follow-Up Scheduling

Deliver consistent after-care guidance without typos or forgotten dates. One trigger builds a complete follow-up message with the patient's name, procedure, after-care window, and an automatically computed appointment date.

  • Pastes patient and procedure details from clipboard via #{clipboard:Patient Name}
  • Auto-computes the follow-up date with #{date:+14 days:MMMM D, YYYY}
  • Keeps discharge language consistent and policy-compliant across the team
trigger: ;postop-followup
Dear #{clipboard:Patient Name},

This is a follow-up regarding your recent #{clipboard:Procedure}.
Please keep the site clean and dry for #{input:Days|7} days.
Your follow-up appointment is scheduled for #{date:+14 days:MMMM D, YYYY}.
Contact the clinic if you experience fever or unusual pain.

Best regards,
#{input:Clinician|Care Team}#{cursor}
Charting & Clinical Notes

Standardized SOAP & History-Taking Templates

Speed up documentation without sacrificing structure. Subjective templates pull symptoms, onset, and pain scores straight from your clipboard history, and air-gapped local AI can draft an assessment from the findings you just pasted.

  • Injects symptom, onset, and pain score from clipboard via #{clipboard:...}
  • Drafts assessment and plan 100% offline with #{ai:...}
  • Maintains consistent chart structure across every clinician
trigger: ;soap-note
S: Patient reports #{clipboard:Symptom} since #{clipboard:Onset}.
Pain rated #{clipboard:Pain Score}/10, #{input:Quality|sharp}.
O: BP #{input:BP|120/80}, HR #{clipboard:HR}.
#{ai:Draft a concise assessment and plan based on the findings above}
1. #{input:Plan 1}
2. #{input:Plan 2}#{cursor}
Medication & Refill Workflow

Medication Sig Blocks & Refill Requests

Generate precise sig instructions and refill requests in seconds. Clipboard variables carry the medication and pharmacy, while date math computes fill and expiry dates, reducing the transcription errors that can lead to safety events.

  • Builds accurate sig blocks from #{clipboard:Medication} and dosage prompts
  • Computes fill and refill dates with #{date:+90 days:MMMM D, YYYY}
  • Routes the request with pharmacy details pulled from your clipboard
trigger: ;med-sig
Sig: Take #{clipboard:Medication} #{input:Dose|1 tablet} by mouth #{input:Frequency|twice daily}.
Quantity: #{input:Quantity|60}. Refills: #{input:Refills|2}.
Next fill eligible: #{date:+30 days:MMMM D, YYYY}.
Pharmacy: #{clipboard:Pharmacy}#{cursor}
Patient Portal & Secure Messaging

MyChart & Patient Portal Message Replies

Reply to portal messages with accurate names, expected-response windows, and correct escalation language. The same playbook works in Epic MyChart, patient messaging platforms, and secure email, with no portal-specific templates required.

  • Greets the patient by name via #{clipboard:Patient Name}
  • States a computed response window with #{date:+1 days:MMMM D, YYYY}
  • Applies consistent triage and escalation language every time
trigger: ;portal-reply
Hello #{clipboard:Patient Name},

Thank you for your message regarding #{clipboard:Topic}.
A member of the care team will reply within #{input:Hours|24} hours
(by #{date:+1 days:MMMM D, YYYY}).
If this is an emergency, call 911 or visit the nearest emergency department.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything Healthcare Teams Need to Know

Clear answers on HIPAA alignment, working inside locked-down EMR environments, local AI, and team playbooks.

Is Snipset HIPAA compliant, and will my practice need a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with you?
Snipset is a local-first desktop application: patient names, clinical notes, clipboard history, and snippet templates are stored in a local SQLite database on your device. Snipset never transmits, stores, or processes PHI on its own servers, so no BAA is required between you and Snipset. The only place patient data goes is the EMR field you type into. We describe Snipset as supporting HIPAA-aligned workflows rather than claiming a certification we do not hold, and your organization's own privacy, security, and retention policies still apply.
Will Snipset work inside Epic, Oracle Cerner, or Athenahealth when plugins and browser extensions are blocked?
Yes. Snipset is not a browser extension or an EMR plugin: it is a native Rust engine that operates at the operating-system level and inserts text into any field where your cursor blinks, exactly as if you had typed it. That means it keeps working across Epic, Oracle Cerner, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Meditech, Allscripts, DrChrono, patient portals such as Epic MyChart, and even Citrix or VMware-hosted EMR sessions where add-ons are restricted. It idles at under 25MB RAM with sub-millisecond latency.
Does the local AI feature ever process patient data in the cloud?
No. AI-assisted drafting through the #{ai:...} token connects to your own local Ollama instance (for example Llama 3 or Qwen 2.5) running on your machine. Prompts and generated text never leave your device. If your organization does not want AI used in clinical workflows at all, the feature is optional and can be switched off while every other expansion capability continues to work normally.
How is Snipset priced for clinics compared to per-clinician scribe or dictation subscriptions?
Snipset uses a transparent One-Time Lifetime License with zero mandatory subscriptions. Voice-dictation and ambient-AI scribe tools typically charge a recurring fee per clinician per month, and cloud text expanders charge per seat per year. A single Snipset purchase gives your practice native text expansion, dynamic date-math variables, and unlimited air-gapped local AI generation forever, with no per-seat counting as your care team grows.
Can a clinic standardize templates across providers, nurses, and front-office staff?
Yes. Snipset organizes snippets into groups with favorites and per-app allow/block lists, and supports one-click JSON export/import. A clinic administrator can assemble one approved playbook (post-procedure instructions, SOAP charting templates, medication sig blocks, and portal message replies), then share it so every team member sends consistent, policy-compliant, typo-free patient communication in the same tools they already use.
