What is a medical scribe?
I explained in more detail what is a medical scribe in another blog post, but to summarize, a medical scribe is a person who carefully documents doctor-patient encounters. Documentation performed by a medical scribe typically involves taking notes during a patient visit and entering data.
The overall goal is to save the doctor’s time. Before medical scribes existed, it was usually up to the doctor providing care to take notes and document the visit.
Many medical scribes work in the office, but the work can also be done from home if the doctor has recorded or dictated information for the medical scribe to enter after the visit. telehealthor if they virtually accompanied the patient’s visit.
Please note that AI is having a growing impact on medical tracing as a field. Some companies are now using AI to facilitate or automate parts of documentation, meaning the nature of work is changing.
That said, human scribes are still in high demand, both to work alongside AI tools and in traditional real-time scribe roles.
