Virtual Medical Scribe

Physicians who provide ambulatory treatment can devote up to 50% of their working hours to EHR and other documentation tasks. Physician burnout and unhappiness are rising along with the regulatory burden on physicians growing and the payment rates declining each year. Scribing services are being used more frequently by doctors in order to maximise their time and provide patients with high-quality care.

Overview of Scribing Services

The documentation and upkeep of clinical records by a physician are supported by scribing services. The work performed by a doctor in an office or a facility environment can be documented or recorded by ancillary staff, who are typically skilled scribers with clinical documentation competence. The scribe does not act autonomously or as a caregiver. They don’t offer any clinical supplies or medical services.The scribe concentrates on recording the doctor’s dictation and actions throughout the visit. Either organised patient charts or electronic health records on an EHR platform are used for the documenting. The scribe just records the signature of the treating physician or non-physician practitioner, which shows that the doctor or NPP approves of the documentation of the care given.
