Who is a medical scribe?
A Medical Scribe is a revolutionary concept in modern medicine. Traditionally, a physician's job has been focusing solely on direct patient contact and care. However, the advent of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) created an overload of documentation and clerical responsibilities that slow physicians down and pulls them away from actual patient care. To relieve the documentation overload, physicians across the country are turning to Medical Scribe services.
A Medical Scribe is essentially a personal assistant to the physician; performing documentation in the EHR, gathering information for the patient's visit, and partnering with the physician to deliver the pinnacle of efficient patient care.

Want to become a Medical Scribe? First, read the responsibilities of the Job!!
This is not a BPO kinda job to attend phone calls or make phone calls to the customer. In this job, you'll be assigned to a US DOCTOR as his personal medical scribe. So, you will be connected to one client to assist him in the documentation. Since I am a medical scribe, I know how the feeling would be as an assistant ( I can call it...friendly assistant) to a physician. Yes, we call the doctor a physician. It will be so nice to work as a medical scribe and the most important thing..... you'll have freedom since you are working with a single professional provider.
Sounds nice, right? behold! There are more responsibilities you will have in this job because you are going to work with a US doctor. So, what are the responsibilities and protocols you have to adhere to?
