"Personally, I think the reduction of the charting burden is only half of what the scribes contribute- keeping track of labs/x-rays ordered and resulted and following up on those that slipped thru the cracks, constructing computerized ACI's, relaying non-clinical messages between the nurses and clerical coordinators and helping the docs stay organized and efficient are as important, if not more."

"The concept of a scribe program offers an innovative and affordable solution to the increase in ED length of stay and patient dissatisfaction."

"We have had an increase in the number of patients seen per physician work hour and thus a significant spike in revenue per hour over the same period last year. Most importantly we have seen an improvement in overall physician satisfaction due to a massive decrease in the charting burden...Our experience has been outstanding with ScribeAmerica, I give my highest recommendation"

"Our scribe program is a true win-win-win-win arrangement. The emergency physicians win by off-loading much of the routine clerical tasks to an eager and motivated individual, the ED staff wins by having a better line of communication with the physician, the scribes win by learning about thier possible career in medicine (while making money), and the patients win because the time I'd otherwise spend filling out forms and running back and forth to the printer gives me more time to talk to them. I honestly do not see why all emergency departments don't have scribe programs. It is simply fantastic."

"By releasing me from routine, yet, time consuming documentation and by hunting down tardy labs and x-rays, I can see 30 percent more patients per shift...my productivity has increased my patients are more satisfied and our department's revenue is up!"

I have had the opportunity to work with scribes on three different occasions in my 27 years an emergency physician. As our practice environment has become more complex and demanding over the years, our documentation requirements have also continued to grow in intensity. When I consider our options for improving our efficiency and legibility, while maximizing our opportunities for accurate and appropriate reimbursement, scribes are again our best solution. And Scribe America was by far our best choice to make this happen. Because of their training program and ongoing management, I am now working with the best scribes ever. Scribe America has improved my life in the ED.
Thanks!

"With Scribes from ScribeAmerica, an EMR, and a change in the way we interview and examine our patients we have created an opportunity to open young eyes to the real world of medicine, a real time record for our consultants, and a unique and very personal experience for our patients. It truly has been a win-win-win experience."
