A physician’s primary role is to provide effective care during every patient interaction. At the same time, doctors must maintain accurate electronic health records (EHR) for the continuity of patient treatment and insurance purposes. Many physicians prefer interacting directly with patients while entrusting administrative work to assistants.

This is why medical scribes are critically important in clinical settings. Scribes support doctors before, during, and after patient examinations.

At Emergency Services, P.C., medical scribes will document patient health data in the EHR, request medical records from other facilities, order patient tests, and document test results. As the emergency setting is constantly changing, our scribes also support our physicians in other duties that arise as needed.

Why Are Medical Scribes Important?

Providing comprehensive patient care in any clinical setting is truly a team effort between physicians and their scribes. That’s why medical scribes are such an important component of our work here at Emergency Services, P.C. ! We rely on them to document our patient interactions accurately while maintaining complete EHRs for later referrals.

Additionally, medical schools are more likely to accept candidates who have worked as medical scribes due to their first-hand experience in:

• Clinical care
• Medical terminology
• Electronic health records
• Insurance
• Time management
• Multitasking
• Physician shadowing

A physician scribe’s experience is also valuable to medical schools because it shows a personal and professional commitment to the field that is instrumental in completing extensive medical education.
