Scribe America Prepares Scribes For The Medical Environment

By Shakira V. Terry


Hospitals, emergency medical centers, and doctor's offices are but a few of the facilities that require well-trained scribes such as those prepared by Scribe America. The hectic and stressful environment of a hospital emergency room presents a real challenge for doctors who want to attend to each patient properly. Doctors may wish to focus 100% of their time on their patients but they must also allot time to the required paperwork that must be filled out and submitted with every patient. All of the paperwork that they do handle cuts back on the already limited time that these medical professionals have to spend with their patients and to ensure that their treatments are being effective.

This is where a scribe trained with Scribe America can offer a lot of help to doctors regardless of what kind of facility they are currently working in. Scribes are assigned to doctors and follow them from patient to patient, making necessary notes and completing paperwork as they go. This saves doctors the time that they would traditionally have to spend making records for each patient and allows them to spend more time in direct contact with the patients that they are responsible for.

Scribe America has a high quality training program to aid individuals interested in this career get prepared for the high stress environment of a hospital or emergency room. Scribes have to be comfortable using and writing medical terminology that their assigned doctors will mention; they also need to know how to use medical inscription software. Scribes and doctors team up to assist patients but handle very different tasks; a scribe is only responsible for paperwork and does not ever get involved in directly treating a patient.

A few of the essential skills that good scribes must demonstrate include good multitasking, responsibility, and personal confidence. It can be challenging and exhausting work to be on the emergency room floor during an 8, 10, or 12 hour shift but this kind of work can also people who are interested in becoming doctors and want a taste of what the work is really like.

A large number of the individuals who are trained through Scribe America also receive job placement assistance from them in hospitals that need their help. If you are thinking about going into the medical field and want a challenging yet rewarding career, being a medical scribe is certainly worth considering.
