What is a Medical Scribe?
I've explained in more detail what a medical scribe is in another blog post, but just to sum up for you, a medical scribe is a person who carefully documents doctor and patient encounters. The documentation a medical scribe does typically involves taking notes from the patient visit and inputting data.
The overall goal is to save the doctor time. Before medical scribes were a thing, it was usually up to the doctor providing care to take notes and document the visit.
Many medical scribes work in-office, but the work can be done from home too if the doctor recorded or dictated information for the medical scribe to input, the visit was telehealth, or if they accompanied the patient visit virtually.
Please note that AI is having an increasing impact on medical scribing as a field. Some companies are now using AI to assist with or automate parts of documentation, which means the nature of the work is evolving.
That said, human scribes are still very much in demand, both to work alongside AI tools and in traditional real-time scribing roles.
