MEDICAL SCRIBING
A medical scribe is a professional in the allied health field who focuses on documenting doctor-patient interactions as they happen, such as during physical exams. Also, they locate data and patients for doctors and finish the paperwork required for patient treatment.
The main responsibilities of a medical scribe are to follow a doctor through his or her workday and record patient encounters using the electronic health record (EHR) and pre-existing templates in a medical office. Depending on the scribe's departmental norms, duties may change. Medical scribes create referral letters for doctors, schedule appointments, maintain, and organize medical records in the EHR system.
The use of a scribe allows doctors to see more patients without having to spend time typing out each patient's documentation. A scribe's primary interest is charting, therefore the chart is likely to be more comprehensive and produce more accurate insurance billing.
