Program name:

HI-6400 Medical Scribe Professional

Program description:

Traditionally, for every hour that physicians provide direct face time to patients - 2 more hours are spent on Electronic Health Records (EHR) and other clerical work. A strategy to decrease this clerical burden is to use Medical Scribes trained to document patient encounters in real-time. Studies have shown that Medical Scribes improved all aspects of physician satisfaction, including overall satisfaction, physician face time with patients, time spent charting, chart quality, and chart accuracy. Since the EHR is at the core of a Medical Scribe’s daily job functions, students are taught knowledge of medical clinic workflow systems by engaging and interacting with a Simulated Software Application. Students track a patient from the patient’s initial call for an appointment through the entire revenue cycle. The book and software activities included in this program use a building block approach to learning the medical clinic workflow processes. This approach ensures that students are prepared to synthesize and organize medical data into a coherent entry, so that it complies with office protocols, federal regulations, and insurance requirements. The payment for the Medical Scribe Certification Exam is provided by MedCerts, which when passed grants status as an Apprentice Medical Scribe Professional (AMSP), through the American Healthcare Documentation Professionals Group.
