TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2021 / Medical professionals all over the United States have their hands full on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. Physicians running understaffed facilities are scrambling to find enough time to speak to and understand their patients, while concurrently transcribing all the pertinent patient information onto an EHR (Electronic Health Record). This practice is called patient charting, and it's ideally not the responsibility of a physician, who would be split between actually interacting with their patients and transcribing their information. Patient charting takes up valuable time that physicians could instead use to handle more patients, focus on other business tasks, or have more leisure time. The question then is, what can be done to make the patient charting process more efficient?
The solution is to bring a fully-trained medical scribe onboard to take care of patient charting and other certain responsibilities. Easier said than done- more so considering the pandemic, right? Yet, there is a company that's making it incredibly easy for physicians to obtain their own scribe specialist, by recruiting and training their scribe, without disrupting practice operations.
Great Scribes Nationwide (GSN) is a Roanoke-based medical scribe solution company that caters to medical practices and physicians all across the United States. They specialize in providing online medical scribe training for medical staff, or hiring fully trained medical scribes from nearby. Abdulai Bangura, founder of Great Scribes Nationwide and an experienced medical scribe himself, tells us more about why physicians need GSN's services. He said, "There are a lot of components that go into successfully running a medical practice. Although many medical professionals desire to have their own practice, they are often discouraged by the responsibility of overseeing all components of the practice, including staff management and daily operations."
He continues by saying, "Some medical practices find themselves suffering from these responsibilities and barely staying afloat. However, medical scribes have shown to improve medical practices in many ways. They completely free the providers from their patient charting burden allowing them to focus on the patients and business itself."
We asked Abdulai to explain in more detail how a medical scribe would improve operations in a medical practice, and he told us "Most medical professionals believe that scribes can only be used to document a physician's note. However, a scribe can legally get involved in the billing and referrals or orders. A scribe can perform any function in the electronic medical record under the direction of their provider. This is approved by The Joint Commission. This means medical professionals can become completely hands off when it comes to charting, billing, and placing orders. This changes the lives of medical professionals because they get the freedom to spend that extra time on anything they want including seeing more patients to make more revenue or having more leisure time to do other things."
The versatility of medical scribes is one of the main selling points of GSN's services, and Abdulai goes a step further by detailing what distinguishes their services from their competitors, saying "Our programs have the ability to train individuals with zero previous experience to efficiently scribe in 2 weeks. Many physicians who acquire scribes typically get frustrated within the first 2 months because the scribe has to adjust to their specialty and practice. Keeping that in mind, we developed a program that provides a much shorter learning curve. How? Apart from building programs tailored to physicians' specialties, we have a very specific training guideline that puts the scribe in the mind of the doctor, and because of this they are able to document more efficiently through understanding and quicker by way of anticipation. Another feature is the all-in-one scribe system, we have programs that not only provide education, but also recruiting, management, and regulatory compliance. Additional features we offer include the ability to save $10 or more per hour with your scribe and to acquire a cross-trained scribe, someone who scribes but also functions as a medical assistant when needed."
Any kind of assistance for the medical professionals on the frontline of our battle against COVID-19 must be well received by physicians, but the GSN founder went ahead and summed up the value of their scribe training and recruiting services in his own words, "We provide services that we believe would improve the practice and lives of medical professionals. We are a small but interactive organization and we take pride in walking our clients step-by-step to their goals, making the process as seamless as possible."
Physicians running their own practice no longer have to needlessly carry the weight and responsibility of a few important clerical tasks such as patient charting, billing, and orders. Instead, they can hire or train a professional medical scribe to do the work for them, thereby increasing the efficiency of their practice's operations without any disruptions or time wasted.
