Just interesting and wanted to share. "They really think they're invisible," Langley chuckles. "I'm worried about technology making us obsolete," Langley concedes. "Employees clock in with a "Web clock" and the system boots them out if they've stopped working for longer than five minutes. 'I know what they're not doing,' Langley says." "Transcription applicants are required to have at least five years of acute-care experience. Employees who can't meet ...

Anyone type for MedScribe Information Systems out of Naples, FL? Any details on company, good pay, good work environment, enough work, etc. would be helpful. Thanks! ...

Does anyone have good input on whether medical scribes are the new medical transcriptionists only being filled my medical students, medical assistants or a part-time or piecemeal clerk at a lower rate (hourly or by piece) than medical transcriptionists -- if lower pay is even possible? Also, what are any inputs on RHIT and the medical coding future? I already have a bachelor's degree but thought about another associate degree in RHIT in a CAHIIM accredited program. From your viewpoint, wou ...

Can anybody give me information about scribes? I just applied for a job that is for a medical transcriptionist/medical assistant which requires the transcriptionist to scribe for the doctor. I'm concluding that you are in with the doctor and patient and basically just typing what he is saying during the appt rather than doc trying to treat the patient and document information at the same time. Do these types of positions usually get paid higher than a transcriptionist? Thanks for an ...

Has anyone ever worked as a "Medical Scribe?" Will you tell me about it, please? ...

Physician scribe jobs have just come to my attention. Been browsing the Internet and heard about it locally, too. Can't find a really detailed description of what these scribes actually do in a day's work. Anyone know? Thanks! ...

We all know the frustration in dictation where they don't use a pause button, how our salaries dwindle to nothing as a result. I noted an ad on the Job Seeker's Board to train to become a "remote scribe" for .07 to .08 CPL. Doesn't it seem this would also dwindle to nothing as it seems there would be far more waiting for data to enter and would take forever to complete a line if you are working in real time. Anyone have any info on how this would work? ...

There is a budding new profession, for which MTs will be perfect. It's explained in an article at http://smartype.com/id12.html. Both the demand and the pay for transcription are dropping precipitously. It's a good time to consider a career transition. The tough part will be finding physicians who recognize that their lives will be immensely better if they have YOU doing all their EHR documentation...and that it's easily worth $40K per year. ...

Has anybody heard of scribes? Is this something that someone who has worked in medical transcription could possibly go into? ...

I ran across a company offering virtual scribes. Their scribes sound like a cross between transcriptionist, coding, assistant. It is done over the internet. The company I ran across is Physicians Angels. I could not find any career page to check out possible positions/requirements, and I don't know if it is done by ILPs, although their office is in the states. Anyone heard of virtual scribes and know of other companies that do this? Always looking for a way to break away from ...

My question is this...if you were working as a virtual scribe (via hipaa compliant video) from home what would you expect the pay per patient to be? Not hourly, just per patient that you documented and turned in to your supervisor at end of day...keep in mind you'd probably be on video about 4 hours a day. I'm really interested to see the responses to this question. ...

I do medical transcription for a local specialty practice. They are transitioning to EHR and gave notice to their MTs that they would be cutting back on their MT needs starting next week. Today, the office mgr. called and asked if I would be interested in a Scribe position. In short, I am. The manager would like to learn my salary requirements. I am thinking of asking to start at $10/hour. Does that seem reasonable. N.B. Idaho ranks 49/50 in per capita i ...

I have been hearing a lot about medical scribes. I am wondering if the transcription companies are going to start losing accounts because the doctors are going to switch to this new way of doing the medical records. Has this happened to anyone yet? ...

"Wow, the rates have gone down! Only $8-$10 per hour for these folks? Thatâ��s great! Minimum wage in Oregon is currently $8.40 per hour. That means that I can get someone smart enough to learn medical terminology (the average medical studentâ��s vocabulary doubles over four years of medical school), operate an EMR (every one is different, and most all of them are hideously complex), listen carefully (a rare commodity in itself), type quickly (remember, the average follow-up visit only las ...

Our world is ever changing, do you fight it or find a way to advance with it. Here is a NYtimes article about scribes.. It covers the third person in the room syndrome. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/14/health/a-busy-doctors-right-hand-ever-ready-to-type.html?emc=eta1&_r=0 ...

From Health Care IT News - February 2014. Interview with an ER doctor about using scribes in the ER and the process of documenting/entering information. http://www.healthcareitnews.com/blog/medical-scribes-history-present-illness-now-narrative ...

Interesting article about stage 2 meaningful use, particularly committees trying to decide if it prohibits anyone but a physician entering data into the EMR. The article specifically references scribes, but I wonder what the implications are for MT. http://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/do-doctors-have-be-typists-get-mu-incentives ...

I think these ideas are getting used interchangeably when they are very different applications. EHR is still transcribed documents, just not paper charts. Facilities have already been on this for a good while now and the transcriptionist will basically see no difference as we don't usually handle a chart anyways in-house or virtually. However, it is the point-n-click programs that are phasing out the transcribed document. ...

I haven't seen any positions in my city and my junior college has nothing on it so far. Anybody more informed on this??? ...
