Epic recently released a system wide upgrade that spells out various words when you attempt to type the accronym, For example “Lifelong NS” is converted to “Life long normal saline”. “F/U in clinic” is converted to “follow units in clinic” etc. This can be disabled.

  1. In the search bar go to user dictionary

2. Type any abbreviation you want to have stay as an abbreviation. in this box.

You can also do the reverse: in the Auto correct tab, you can type an acronym and have the system spell that out.
