Do Medical Scribes Help Primary Care Providers Respond More Quickly to Out-of-Visit Tasks?

Conclusions:
Our study suggests that scribes are not associated with improved time to completion of inbox messages for PCPs. While scribes seem to have many benefits, our study suggests they may not improve time to completion of out-of-visit tasks. Reducing the time to completion for these tasks likely requires other interventions targeted to achieve those outcomes.
