Responsibilities and Duties of Scribes at Premier Scribes
Being a medical scribe is very challenging, yet rewarding. You are responsible for the medical record and assisting the provider throughout their workday. Becoming a Premier Scribe requires an individual be highly motivated, driven, well-organized and passionate about the field of medicine. We have a rigorous training program which will ensure your success. The skills that you will learn both in the training program and while working will serve you well once you start the next phase of your journey. Scribe duties include documenting patient history, physical exam, lab results and pertinent details of patient visits in the electronic medical record (EMR). Scribes also assist with patient flow, helping the provider stay organized. Providing care to patients is a complex process and a scribe is an integral part of the provider’s success.
Our training program includes medical terminology, HIPPA training and one-on-one coaching to make you the best scribe possible. After training is complete, we expect a mastery of department flow, medical terminology, documentation, departmental policies and HIPAA. We also provide ongoing education for scribes, with both clinically relevant topics and compliance and documentation lessons.
No healthcare experience is necessary, but an interest in clinical patient care and healthcare technology is a plus.
