Scribes

“Excellence in Documentation”

BestPractices supports using scribes to assist our ED physicians. With more health systems investing in EMRs, we find our scribe program can be a potent practice enhancement to support patient flow and sustain productivity during, and after, the conversion.

The purpose of the Medical Scribe is to promote optimal patient care by completing the physicians’ documentation in a timely and accurate manner. It is the scribe’s responsibility to ensure that each section of the medical record is completed in full and documented appropriately. The scribe will assist the physician in maintaining flow in the Emergency Department by keeping the chart updated with completed diagnostic test results and prompting the physician on test result availability.

Qualified applicants must have a strong desire to pursue a career in the medical field and be available to work full time for a minimum of one year.
