Pathfinder 1e
PF1e has no direct Mass Healing Word. Group healing is handled by the mass cure family, including Mass Cure Light Wounds. Those spells use standard-action casting and legacy healing mechanics rather than a Bonus Action.
D&D 3.5e
D&D 3.5e likewise has no Mass Healing Word. Use the mass cure spells, beginning with Mass Cure Light Wounds, for the nearest legacy equivalent.
