Medical Scribes play an important role in the clinical documentation capture process.  Medical Scribes have become increasingly more popular as most of the healthcare industry moved to electronic health records.  Scribes help providers spend less time capturing and entering data by recording the patient encounter details.  Scribes support providers in physician practices, hospitals, emergency departments, long-term care facilities, ambulatory care centers, acute care settings, etc.  Scribes provide tremendous value to medical providers by significantly reducing the administrative burden of record keeping.  However, organizations and providers must be mindful of the various regulatory considerations associated with using medical scribes. There are many compliance considerations associated with using medical scribes in an organization. 

The cost of getting medical scribe compliance wrong can have catastrophic consequences on an organization, including documentation deficiencies, audits, recoupments, joint commission violations, etc.  In this webinar, we will discuss the roles and responsibilities of medical scribes, medical provider responsibilities, scribe documentation guidelines, sample workflows, security safeguards, budgetary considerations, best practices, common challenges, and so much more.
