Anyone currently work as a scribe - curious
Posted: Jul 10, 2012
Just wondering if anyone is currently working as a scribe? I know some have complained about the pay being low ($11-$16) but when compared with what I make x 0, it still equals 0.
If you are currently working as a scribe, do you like it? What kind of hours do you work? Are you treated as employee or IC?
TIA for any answers.

It sounds fun to be a scribe, but from what I'm seeing, those jobs are short-lived for a variety of reasons. I don't know anyone who has lasted as a scribe other than one who is teaching it.

My friend is a court reporter and I had asked her about this a few years back. She had told me since video technology had been encroaching her world, as VR did and is ours, most court reporters would not need a scribe as the would have time on their hands to do it themselves. It was not that way even 10 years ago for her. She was making big $$ doing transcripts for attorneys and insurance companies, plus being a state employee and gets a salary and benefits. I don't know when the hammer will come down on her. I am hoping never!

Med-Scribe In Florida May 19, 2010I'm looking to change jobs & saw an ad for Med-Scribe
in Naples, Florida. Ads, as you know, can sound really
good, but they don't tell the true story. Would like to know
about the good & bad aspect that MTs working for
Med-Scribe have had & are having.
I work for another transcription company &, right now, they're
not treating their employees too good, & haven't for quite some
time.
Thank you. ...
I Just Saw An Ad For A Medical Scribe Jun 25, 2010I just saw an ad for a Medical Scribe. The description is that the MT accompanies the doc from room to room to see patients, sits at the computer in the room and transcribes the H&P/procedure while doc is doing the exam. Starting pay was $17/hr with full benefits. Anybody ever heard of this? I think it's a good idea, leaves the doc hands free to tend to the patient. It sounds a little like being a court reporter as far as "live" dictation being done. ...

Question About Scribe Jan 20, 2011I just got a new computer, and have set up Scribe and everything else to start using it. On my old computer, the page filled up the entire screen and the text was larger and easier to read. On my new computer, the page is centered in the screen and is much smaller than on my old one. When I try to zoom to 125% or higher, the demographics and other things get larger but the page stays the same size. I'm not sure what to try to get this the way it was on my old compute ...

Transitioned To P-scribe Now NJA Feb 23, 2013Our high-volume hospital dept just went onto Powerscribe after many fits and starts. Everyone involved expected the MTs to get reports to edit but it looks like the doctors (who fought tooth and nail against this) are very happy with editing themselves. This has left the MTs with little or no work. It's only been a week. Has anyone found that the novelty wears off and the doctors stop doing most of the editing? They have the option of editing themselves, having ...
GIS Re IKM/Scribe Platforms Mar 10, 2013I have trained on the above platform and now have doubts about the above platforms. It seems to me it would be very difficult using these 2 platforms. Going through all the steps that you have to go through just to get 1 report done seems like a very long process. I have worked on the IKM platform on another job and it didn't seem that bad to me, but I find using these 2 together would make it impossible to produce a good line count. Is this just my problem or does a ...
Scribe Vs Transcription Apr 25, 2013Does anyone have any information on working as a scribe, directly following the physician and typing in the room with the patient? I was offered a position as a scribe in a local clinic. I have done transcription for many years, but never as a scribe. I'm kind of nervous about not being able to start/stop the dictation, use shortcut keys, etc.
I was told with the platform they use, there is no way to make shortcuts. Everything will be straight typing and that I would need to keep u ...
