Article Synopsis
- The use of electronic health records (EHRs) has led to issues like physician dissatisfaction and burnout, which medical scribes aim to address by easing the documentation burden.
- A study over 15 months showed that medical scribes significantly reduced the time clinicians spent on charting, lowered the time taken to finalize notes, and improved the overall clinician experience.
- Results indicated that with scribes, documentation time per patient decreased by over 3 minutes, note finalization time was cut down from nearly a day to less than a third of a day, and clinicians felt they spent 1.2 hours less documenting during clinic sessions.
