Medical scribe and its future in medicine

The introduction of Medical Scribe is a revolutionary concept in the modern medicine field. During earlier days, most of the physician’s time was spent focusing solely on direct patient contact and care. Due to the Electronic Health Record (EHR), the Physicians are now overloaded with the documentation and clerical responsibilities and are unable to focus on patient care. To relive themselves of this additional documentation work, majority of the physicians are turning over to Medical Scribe services.

A Medical Scribe is essentially a personal assistant that helps the physician to document the patient’s visit in the EHR and assists the physician to deliver the best of services in patient care.

For people thinking of starting their career in medicine or become a physician or physician assistant, the chance to become a Medical Scribe is unlike any other opportunity available. It helps in one-on-one collaboration with a physician, and is unprecedented in its level of exposure to real medicine in practice. Nowadays a background in Medical Scribing has become an essential part for pre-medical experience. The competition to become a Medical Scribe is intense and is the future of medicine.
