Why Become A Scribe?
If you’re a pre-med student or you’re in nursing, NP or PA school and are looking for a more hands on experience in the medical field, look no further. Becoming a medical scribe is a great way to truly immerse yourself in the daily life of a provider and to get a true reflection of what it is like to think like a true practicing physician.
As a scribe you are able to establish a one on one connection with a provider and use this connection to create a well-documented medical note in the Electronic Medical Records (EMR), while also earning good money.
The medical scribe truly bridges the gap between shadowing experiences and real world exposure. There is no better way to get to know this level of detail before even entering medical school.
Scribe Partners trains pre-med and medical (MD, NP, PA, RN) students about Patient Note Creation, Disease Management, HIPAA, Compliance, Etiquette, Coding, and Billing.
How Scribes Help Physicians
Scribes save providers valuable time. By accurately recording and creating the EMR’s ‘live’ it will free the physicians or practitioners up to see more patients, increase time-spent with patients…and, more discretionary time to spend with their families and outside activities. Scribes free up doctors from the tedious task of medical record keeping.
Scribes are responsible for recording and updating the following; :
History of the Patient’s Current Illness
Review-Of-Systems (ROS) and Physical Examinations
Vital Signs and Lab Values
Recording Results of Imaging Studies
Continued Care Plans and Updating Medication Lists
Past, Family and Social History
Updating Problem Lists
Medication Reconciliation
Prepare Lab Orders and Diagnostic Testing
CPT and ICD-10 Diagnosis Coding Requirements
Meaningful Use (i.e. Patient portals for email communications)
