Medical Scribing
Your notes finished when the visit ends, instead of after dinner.
What changes
Documentation is the tax on seeing patients. Most providers pay it at night, from memory, days after the visit.
A scribe writes the note while the encounter is happening. You talk to the patient; somebody else types. The chart closes the same day, and the details that decide a coding question are in it because they were captured while somebody could still see them.
That is also the billing argument. A note written from memory a week later tends to be thinner than the visit was, and a thin note is what turns a defensible level of service into a downcode you cannot appeal.
Common questions
Does the scribe work in our EHR?
Yes, in your EHR, under their own credentials, with the access their role requires. Nothing gets exported anywhere.
Who is responsible for the note?
You are. The scribe documents, you review and sign. Nothing is filed under your name that you have not read.
Do we need to train them?
They arrive trained on terminology and documentation. The first week or two is learning how you specifically work, and it goes faster if you tell them what you want rather than correcting it silently.
