Medical Scribe Impact on Patient and Provider Experience.

CONCLUSION: In multiple settings, documentation requirements burden providers. The consideration of scribes could foster work life balance, retention, and wellness. The patient and provider experience was strengthened through the utilization of medical scribes, so future research centered on the provider and patient experience could be beneficial to organizations. Further study of the scribe's experience, especially considering the positive comments from the hospital corpsmen that participated as scribes during the project, could provide beneficial outcomes. Navy Medicine is advancing every opportunity to strengthen clinical and operational readiness, health and partnerships to provide the highest quality care and promote wellness for our patients. This type of quality improvement initiative could positively support readiness, quality and wellness for our organization, providers, and patients. PMID: 30811535 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
