What is tha future of medical secrib in health industry?

Answer 1

Wouldn’t it be nice if you always had the right information, in the right place, whenever you wanted it? When it comes to complex patient cases, this would be a gift to the hard-working physician who needs to balance the task of maximizing efficiency while optimizing quality care. With entire patient histories from A to Z at your disposal, EHRs aim to make things easier for healthcare providers by providing centralized and accurate documentation of details for every patient examined. However, the technicalities of such a system have hampered efficiency, interfered with patient-doctor relationships, and led to an increased data-driven workload on the physician, ultimately leading to physician burnout (or near burnout).

Depending upon the future state of the healthcare system and the laws put into place to retain or repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), these issues could be aggravated even more with a projected U.S. physician shortage. The ACA introduced many more insured people into the healthcare system, boosting coverage, but leaving physicians scrambling to compensate for this increase in the coming years unless measures are taken to remedy the disparity. However, if the ACA is repealed, the predicted loss in health insurance coverage could result in increasing numbers of sick people into the ER that overload ER workflow and also lead to physician burnout. Thus, it is more essential than ever before to come up with ways to alleviate workload while maintaining the high quality of care that the current value-based healthcare modelsdemand. In such cases, certified medical scribes are a crucial support system to buffer the extra load of patient cases that pass through the ER, or to help individual healthcare providers maximize quality and profit.

Here are some examples of how medical scribes help healthcare providers tackle the issues necessary to efficiently deliver quality care using the most current technology.
