Urgent Care
Unscheduled acute care episodes. Rapid decision making. Doctors slowed down by clerical tasks at the point of care. Urgent care scribes ensure documentation matches diagnoses for accuracy, and better health outcomes.
Feel the Impact of Patient-focused, Critical Care.
While it may seem like provider burnout is unavoidable, and accurate documentation unattainable, with a medical scribe, improvements in both areas become a reality. Active listening with eye contact and therapeutic touch is more achievable during an exam, along with addressing a patient’s concerns or informing them about key aspects of their care.
Together, a provider with a scribe has improved documentation quality, fewer errors and more time to deliver vital care. That's why clinical leaders turn to ScribeAmerica for analysis and to create a system of support. With the ability to anticipate patient needs, scribes improve the overall efficiency of your Urgent Care practice.

Epic EHR, Going Live with and without Medical Scribes
Much of the talk in the EHR industry centers on the on the giant Epic EHR and their impressive portfolio.

When approaching new clients, we commonly warn C level executives about the potential productivity losses they will soon face with a un assisted rollout.

After the usual recommendations of physician assistants (PA) and nurse practitioners (NPs) it was thought that the discussion was over until someone at the table mentioned “scribes.” Scribes?! No one at the meeting had ever heard of such a thing.
