Our medical scribes are trained to work under the personal supervision of a healthcare provider during his or her clinical shift. With the ever-increasing documentation demands into electronic health record (EHR) systems, our goal at Revascent is to take on the majority of the provider documentation burden to help improve efficiency, decrease documentation burnout, and in turn help to improve provider wellness. Improve the efficiency of your practice and free up more of your time by using our medical scribes to focus on collection of the patient information and creation of the encounter during the patient’s visit. Our scribes provide real-time documentation of the patient and provider encounter which helps to improve documentation quality and accuracy, leading to quicker note sign-off times. By taking on the majority of the documentation and non-clinical tasks, scribes help healthcare providers to spend more face-to-face time with their patient(s), and aids in improving patient satisfaction and overall wait times
