Our Scribes must be reliable, positive, motivated, and professional. These attributes are essential to success in an ED or clinical setting.
Job Description
The primary role of a medical scribe is to assist the ED physician with the complete documentation of patients' charts.
Scribes accompany ED physicians seeing patients in order to record each patient's history, review of systems, and the physical examination performed by the physician.
Scribes keep track of laboratory tests, medications, and radiology tests ordered by the physician, and transcribe the results into the chart once they are completed.
Scribes document all procedures done by the physician. Procedures may include performing life support, reducing dislocations, suturing, etc.
Scribes document any consultations the ED physician makes to a patient's personal doctor, family members, or on-call physician.
Scribes are responsible for documenting all diagnoses, treatment plans, prescriptions, and discharge/follow-up information for each patient.
The shifts always vary, but generally are between 8-10 hours.
If you have any questions please email or call us anytime. We look forward to hearing from you!
