What is a Virtual Medical Scribe?

In the recent KLAS report, the author discussed how healthcare organizations are leveraging virtual medical scribes to improve clinician satisfaction. The KLAS report described virtual medical scribes as remote human scribes who communicate with cognition via laptop, smartphone, or tablet. The virtual medical scribe’s duties include: updating charges, clarifying information, entering clinical notes, and making suggestions to physicians.

As you can imagine with the burnout of physicians and nurses, virtual medical scribes are becoming more and more popular. In the KLAS report, two virtual medical scribe vendors are reviewed, and clients from both vendors reported positive feedback about their overall experience. Even though most reported positive outcomes, some noted there were some documentation challenges and accuracy issues.

Some of the most frequent general outcomes are:

1. Improves physician satisfaction

2. Improves patient experience

3. Catching up on the documentation backlog for physicians

4. Accurate and complete documentation

5. Increased patient appointments which generates more revenue

6. Giving the physician the ability to work on other tasks

The clients did say that some medical scribe partners are easier to deal with than others, as far as their responsiveness in addressing the issues on a timely basis with regular feedback. With that being said, almost all respondents, 94%, reported that their firm’s services have a highly positive impact on their EHR documentation.
