Still wondering what a medical scribe does? A medical scribe's primary duties are to follow physicians through his or her workday and chart patient encounters in real-time using a medical practice’s electronic health record system. They can work in an emergency department, urgent care, hospital, or medical office setting. Medical scribes can be thought of as data care managers, enabling physicians to focus on patient care. Medical scribes free up the physician to increase patient contact time, give more thought to complex cases, better manage patient flow through the department, and increase productivity to see more patients. Basically, scribes help doctors be better doctors…. pretty cool, huh?
