Urgent Care

Unscheduled acute care episodes. Rapid decision making. Doctors slowed down by clerical tasks at the point of care. Urgent care scribes ensure documentation matches diagnoses for accuracy, and better health outcomes.

Feel the Impact of Patient-focused, Critical Care.

While it may seem like PROVIDER BURNOUT is unavoidable, and ACCURATE DOCUMENTATION unattainable, with a medical scribe, improvements in both areas become a reality. Active listening with eye contact and therapeutic touch is more achievable during an exam, along with addressing a patient’s concerns or informing them about key aspects of their care.

Together, a provider with a scribe has improved documentation quality, fewer errors and more time to deliver vital care. That’s why clinical leaders turn to ScribeAmerica for analysis and to create a system of support. With the ability to anticipate patient needs, SCRIBES IMPROVE THE OVERALL EFFICIENCY of your Urgent Care practice.

Epic EHR, Going Live with and without Medical Scribes
Much of the talk in the EHR industry centers on the on the giant Epic EHR and their impressive portfolio. I personally spent four years documenting on Epic and can say it has some impressive components to it, however, in my opinion it was not built for the fast paced ED physician. When approaching new clients, we commonly warn C level executives about the potential productivity losses they will soon face with a un assisted rollout.

Three thousand years later, modern scribes follow healthcare providers to document services rendered, and have taken on additional roles such as tracking down test results and medication orders, taking patients histories and generally acting as an assistant to the provider.

Bukata Abstracts in EM – OPTIMIZING PHYSICIAN TIME
The Executive Medical Committee of a hospital I am familiar with was meeting last year and, in preparation for a Joint Commission survey, wanted to formalize who can make entries into a patient’s chart. After the usual recommendations of physician assistants (PA) and nurse practitioners (NPs) it was thought that the discussion was over until someone at the table mentioned “scribes.” Scribes?! No one at the meeting had ever heard of such a thing.
