Scribe America Readies Scribes For The Medical Environment

By Shakira V. Terry


Hospitals, emergency medical centers, and doctor's clinics are but a few of the facilities that require well-trained scribes such as those prepared by Scribe America. The busy and stressful environment of a hospital emergency room presents a real challenge for doctors who want to attend to each patient properly. The truth is that a large portion of a doctor's time with their patients is actually lost to filling out hospital forms and medical documents that must be completed after each visit and before discharge. This can notably reduce a doctor's ability to interact with and care for their patients in the way they would like too since they have limited time and have to dedicate much of it to filling out documents.

Doctors can receive a considerableamount of assistance and support from trained professionals working with Scribe America. Scribes go with doctors on their visits and document all pertinent information as the doctor attends to their patients. As opposed to being forced to stop and take time to record important details of their patient's condition, doctors are able to spend more time being thorough in their care thanks to having a scribe to handle the paperwork for them.

Emergency rooms can be hectic, stressful places, so Scribe America helps prepare potential scribes for these kinds of surroundings during their training programs. It is vital that scribes be familiar with a wide range of medical terminology as well as modern technology used to record patient information such as tablet software. Although scribes have to be familiar with common medical terms they are not expected to be medical experts and do not ever have to get involved in the treatment of their doctor's patients.

Doctors would rather work with scribes who are confident, responsible, and timely; being a good multi-tasker is also important. Going from one patient to another while working in an emergency room is not always easy, especially during a long shift that can go on for up to 12 hours.

Scribe America prepares medical scribes and then communicates with hospitals, doctor's offices, and other facilities that need their assistance. Working as a medical scribe will get you some great experience in the hospital beside doctors and nurses as well as many challenges.
