How we help day-to-Day
- Electronic documentation of the doctor-patient interaction – Spending hours catching up on charts is a thing of the past! Scribes document in real time, allowing doctors to focus on care.
- On-The-Fly Assistance – Scribes can review a patient’s medical history and brief the doctor before appointments, and answer questions during the appointment. Afterwards scribes can review with the doctor and make any needed addendums or changes to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
- Handling of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) – Scribes keep your records organized and in compliance with state and federal regulations.
Aside from hiring a PA, having a scribe has been one of the best additions to my clinical practice in the past 12 years. Hiring a scribe was not only a lifestyle choice but a patient care decision. My notes are more thorough and complete with a scribe. They are completed in real time. I automatically have a chaperone in the room with me for every patient encounter. I no longer have to complete my notes at the end of the day or clinic. This allows me to be finished with my day when clinic is over and go home to be with my family. I can focus on interacting with my patients instead of interacting with the medical record. Every scribe I have had from KC Scribes has been excellent. Jessica does an outstanding job in choosing, hiring, and training her scribes. The investment in having a scribe from KC Scribes is both financially, professionally, and personally rewarding.
Customized Training to Match Your Practice
Training Is Everything
- We take great care training scribes to be well-prepared by learning how the clinic operates and where they will fit in.
- We make sure scribes understand the language and concepts of the field so that they’re able to document with clarity and accuracy.
- We take the time to learn each physician’s preferences and train scribes based on how the physician would like their chart documented and organized.
- We actively monitor federal, state, and regulatory changes to ensure scribes and clients consistently meet compliance with government standards and the policies established by a healthcare setting.
- We consult with clients regularly to ensure our training is meeting their needs and to see where we can make improvements.
Frequently Asked Questions
We believe that contracting Kansas City Scribes is often a better option for practices than hiring in-house. Contracting with Kansas City Scribes is more affordable, convenient, and flexible than bringing on scribes as employees.
The biggest direct costs in employing medical scribes are wages, benefits, and training (including likely turnover, given that many scribes are young pre-medical students who will eventually move on to pursue other career options). Indirect costs are more subtle and related to risk management. Discrepancy from inaccurate documentation by scribes and decreased physician workflow due to scribe incompetency are both potential risks physicians must consider. However, thorough scribe training and experience mitigates this cost.
Yes!! :) But don’t take our word for it. Check out these resources:
