The Medical Scribe is limited to documentation and efficiency management for the provider. The scribe is an unlicensed person and exclusively non-clinical. The Medical Scribe does not touch patients and does not engage in any type of patient care. The Medical Scribe observes the provider during patient encounters and performs documentation on the provider's behalf. Under the direction of the provider, the scribe enters information into the patient's electronic chart. All documentation is reviewed and/or edited by the provider. It is signed with an attestation by the provider that the scribed chart accurately reflects all work performed by the provider.
