What Do Medical Scribes Do?

Medical Scribes specialize in medical data entry into an electronic medical record system and in instituting efficient workflow process, thus increasing the physician’s capacity to provide direct patient care, performing medical procedures and communicating with nursing staff, more efficiently.

A medical scribe is essentially a virtual personal assistant to the physician; performing documentation in the EHR, gathering information for the patient’s visit, and partnering with the physician to deliver the pinnacle of efficient patient care.
