Speaker 1: A virtual 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 electronic health record created an overload of documentation and clerical responsibilities that slows physicians down and pulls them away from actual patient care. To relieve the documentation overload, physicians are increasingly turning to medical scribe services. A virtual medical scribe is essentially a personal assistant to the physician, remotely 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. A virtual medical scribe is a physician collaborator who fulfills the primary secretarial and non-clinical functions of the busy physician or mid-level provider. Scribes specialize in medical data entry into the electronic medical record system and instituting efficient workflow processes, thus increasing the medical provider's capacity to provide patient care like seeing the next waiting patient, performing medical procedures, and communicating with the nursing staff. The scribe actively monitors the duration of medical testing results such as blood and urine tests, x-ray, and CT reports in order to prevent unnecessary delays and expedite patient dispositioning. The virtual scribe system works through a messenger application that can be installed on a Windows or Mac-based system. All communications are through military-grade encryption, specifically built for the medical process. A lightweight tablet with a mobile connection can be provided to keep the provider and virtual scribe connected at all times. A mobile app can be used in conjunction with the messenger to allow the provider to take pictures, send voice messages, and text communicate with their scribe. The process works as follows. First, the nurse or medical assistant will bring the patient to the exam room and enter their medical history and vitals into the EMR. The virtual scribe is connected to the exam room through a secure, HIPAA-compliant, Voice over IP and VPN connections, and they will review the patient file. During the exam, the virtual scribe listens and transcribes the doctor encounter, entering notes, and ICD-10 or CPT codes, and other relevant data into the patient's file through a secure VPN connection. The doctor does not perform any data entry during the exam. At the end of the day, the doctor reviews the day's charts with the virtual scribe via a Voice over IP connection and makes any edits and signs off. The virtual scribe generates referral letters and performs other tasks as directed. For physicians who do not want the full services of a dedicated medical scribe, there is a traditional medical transcription option. With this program, the doctor can either dictate their notes using a mobile app, or they can call into a toll-free number after each patient encounter. The audio file is stored on a central server where a medical transcriptionist will dictate the notes and return them back to the practice in the manner in which they wish, either email, fax, or web portal.
